If you're working with medical images you might want to check out
my library of functions/programs available at:
ftp://bial8.ucsd.edu pub/software/idl/share
The README file lists the files with short descriptions. There should
be routines you could use. Also, we do semi-automated segmentation
of brain MRI scans, using a regression analysis which is seeded
with samples chosen by the user. If you want, email me and I can
send you more info on our technique.
I would recommend saving the segmentation results as either:
1) ROI: list of indices into array; this will allow
faster access than a list of vertices or lines would.
2) GIF images
Note that you can use POLYFILLV() with the RUN_LENGTH keyword to
return the indices of a polygon in run-length form.
