How do I define log function for arguments of type int16 ?

I am doing image processing and at some point in my code I need to find the natural log of a ratio (ration between the pre-contrast "Spre" and post-contrast signal intensities "Spost").But they are of type int16 and matlab gives me an error that "Undefined function 'log' for input arguments of type 'int16'". Could you please help me out with a solution, thanks alot.
R2 = 1./SE;
TE = 120; % echo time 120 ms
SE = analyze75read('10_ep2d_ge_se_128_DCE_slice8.hdr');
[xsize_se, ysize_se, tsize_se] = size(SE);
for x = 1:xsize_se
for y = 1:ysize_se
IM_signal_SE = squeeze(SE(x,y,:));
IM_signal_SE_baseline = squeeze(SE(x,y,4:15));
Spre = mean(IM_signal_SE_baseline); % pre contrast (AVERAGE baseline signal intensity)
Spost = IM_signal_SE - Spre; % post contrast signal SE
*deltaR2 = 1/TE (log(Spre./Spost));*
end
end

Turn them into double. E.g.,
log(double(Spre)./double(Spost))

Hoda said in his own Answer (which I deleted because only 1 Answer can be accepted), which he mistakenly accepted:
Thank you very much!
I transferred it here and deleted Hoda's answer so he can officially Accept James's answer instead.
