Medical image processing and analysis system, which is of great value in medical research and clinical diagnosis, has been a focal field in recent years. Interactive data language (IDL) has a vast library of built-in math, statistics, image analysis and information processing routines, therefore, it has become an ideal software for interactive analysis and visualization of two-dimensional and three-dimensional scientific datasets. The methodology is proposed to design a novel image processing and analysis system for medical images based on IDL. There are five functional modules in this system: Image Preprocessing, Image Segmentation, Image Reconstruction, Image Measurement and Image Management. Experimental results demonstrate that this system is effective and efficient, and it has the advantages of extensive applicability, friendly interaction, convenient extension and favorable transplantation.
