Medical image visualization system, which is of great value in medical research and clinic diagnosis, has been a focal field in recent years. IDL (Interactive Data Language) 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 or three dimensional scientific datasets. The principles and development are proposed to design a novel three dimensional visualization toolbox for medical images based on IDL platform using object oriented programming and object graphics techniques, with experimental results exhibited. It is demonstrated that our developed toolbox can carry out interactive volume and slice operations in both two and three dimensions effectively and efficiently, meanwhile, it has advantages of extensive applicability, friendly interaction, convenient extension and favorable transplantation, which is adequate for medical images processing and analysis.
