Abstract :
Computer aided diagnostic comprises wide research areas with stability and reliability software requirements. We propose a set of libraries aiming to provide a development framework for medical applications. This framework´s libraries, mostly written from scratch (e.g Core library), were developed for both medical imaging systems and general physical simulations. Their internal interactions tend to be transparent to the developer and easy to use at the same time while providing flexibility to interact with other codes. The robustness of the code is shown in complex applications like the medical workstation here exemplified, while its flexibility and fast prototyping characteristics are exemplified with some simple demonstrations.
