MaZda is a computer program for calculation of texture parameters (features) in digitized images. It has been under development since 1998, to satisfy the needs of the participants of COST B11 European project "Quantitative Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Image Texture" (1998-2002) and COST B21 European project "Physiological modelling of MR Image formation". MaZda package apart from MaZda software contains B11 program for texture analysis and visualization.

The program code has been written in C++ and Delphi^©. It has been compiled for PC computers that use MS Windows^® 9x/NT/2000/XP operating systems.
