-BBLimage is a set of software tools for medical image processing, particularly

+Pyvox scripts and date files are portable, easily extensible, and suitable
+both for rapid prototyping of new algorithms and analysis protocols, and also
+for efficient, automated processing of the finished analysis protocols.
