I have a current need to undertake image analysis and have the following query. I have .dat file containing an industrial X-Ray image with 16 bit greyscale range values. The .dat file contains values for each pixel in the 250 x 439 image size. My question, as a non-user and novice in this area, is if Matlab can be used to create a visual image from the .dat file and be used for analysis? Any links or suggested learning documentation in this area would be most welcome.

Matlab has countless ways to visualise images loaded into the workspace.
The problem with your file is that .dat sounds like a generic file type and Matlab won't know how to load it. Do you know if the file has an underlying file type like .tiff? Or can you convert your .dat file to an image or text file? What program do you normally use to view your .dat files?
If you upload one of your files we might be able to take a closer look.
