Mango (Multi-Image Analysis GUI) is a non-commercial software for viewing, editing and analyzing volumetric medical images. Mango is written in Java, and distributed freely in precompiled versions for Linux, Mac OS and Microsoft Windows. It supports NIfTI, ANALYZE, NEMA and DICOM formats and is able to load and save 2D, 3D and 4D images.

Mango provides tools for creation and editing of regions of interest (ROI) within the images, surface rendering, image stacking (overlaying), filtering in space domain and histogram analysis, among other functions that can be used in neuroimaging analysis{{cite journal |vauthors=Szabó CA, Narayana S, Franklin C, etal |title="Resting" CBF in the epileptic baboon: Correlation with ketamine dose and interictal epileptic discharges |journal=Epilepsy Res. |volume=82 |issue=1 |pages=59–65 |date=Nov 2008 |pmid=18801644 |doi=10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2008.07.015 |pmc=3184423}}{{cite journal |vauthors=Narayana S, Jacks A, Robin DA, etal |title=A Non-Invasive Imaging Approach to Understanding Speech Changes following Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease |journal=Am J Speech Lang Pathol |volume= 18|issue= 2|pages= 146–61|date=Nov 2008 |pmid=19029533 |doi=10.1044/1058-0360(2008/08-0004) |pmc=2779712 }} for scientific (non-clinical) purposes.
