Steven,
Analyzing MRI data was my first major project with IDL also, beginning
with no programming knowledge. I'm still a beginner, but I think I may
help point you in the same direction I went through a short year or so
ago.
I would especially look at documentation relating to DICOM files - in
the Using IDL pdf, as well as the Image Processing in IDL pdf. The
online help is also a great tool, as long as you know what to look for.
(i.e., the IDLffDICOM object, READ_DICOM, QUERY_DICOM, etc.) David
Fanning's site also helped with a few basic common confusions.
If you get stuck, let me know and I'll try to help you along, too. As
of this point, I mostly create a program until it does what I need it
to, no matter how efficient it is (I know, not a good policy to follow
- but it works).
Others on this newsgroup might offer more professional advice, though.
Good Luck,
Nikki
