Koon-Pong -

You might be interested in a program I wrote called SHOW_IMG that
allows you to display a wide variety of medical images in a variety
of different window configurations. This program can read many different
medical image formats, so long as the images are square, with dimensions
of either {64, 128, 256 or 512}; the image data must be in raw 8-bit
or 16-bit format; there can be an initial header of unknown size, the
image reader will skip over it appropriately.

You say that your images are FLTARR. Is this after pre-processing?
As far as I understand it, SPECT images in raw form are usually
16-bit signed integer data.

You can get this program and many other routines related to medical
imaging at:

ftp://bial8.ucsd.edu pub/software/idl/share

You can download just the SHOW_IMG program and it's required routines,
or get a larger set of routines. There's a README file listing the
routines and their use. All are written for UNIX, most should work
on Windows/Mac without much work. All routines/programs have .doc
documentation files; you can use my LHELP program to view these
easily.

Hope this helps.

Dave
