% % The subroutine is attached. It takes the 3D image matrix as its input. So
% % if using sliceomatic you would do the following:
% % 
% % 1. Read Images
% % 2. Manipulate
% % 3. Call sliceomatic(ImageData)
% % 4. Make some changes (i.e. ImageData(ImageData<100)=0
% % 5. call mySubRoutine(ImageData)
% % 
% % Everything should be updated and it runs fast
