The Power of IDL for Medical Imaging

IDL is the software platform chosen by medical imaging professionals who need to analyze, display, process, interpret and share medical imaging data. IDL's powerful visualization and analysis capabilities help you understand medical images from virtually any modality and integrate custom tools across the health care enterprise.

Clinical Medical Imaging Applications
Getting accurate and useful information from your images in a clinical setting is a priority. In both diagnostic and treatment applications IDL gives you the flexible data analysis and visualization tools you need get answers from your images. IDL offers interoperability with all types of data and a variety of leading medical imaging workstations to make IDL a contiguous and integral part of the clinical medical imaging workflow.

Research Medical Imaging Applications
Medical imaging researchers worldwide depend on IDL to analyze medical imaging data and to develop new algorithms to aid in their research. IDL is an intrinsic part of the discovery process, piloting numerous projects from prototype to clinical application. IDL users can leverage the experience of a vast global user community, sharing an extensive library of IDL algorithms and expertise. IDL's cross-platform functionality, distribution options and DICOM functionality enable medical imaging application collaboration with colleagues across the hall or even across the globe.

Commercial Application Development
IDL is the development platform of choice for many of the leading medical imaging toolkit providers. IDL gives application developers the tools to create customized applications, for both standalone environments and medical imaging workstations. The use of IDL for commercial applications continues to grow with the development of new IDL functionality, multiple distribution options and the ongoing advances in IDL bridging technologies such as Java, and ActiveX bridges.
