System for processing digital images, imaging installation incorporating such a system, and method for processing corresponding images,

This digital image processing system, which is intended to cooperate with an imaging system adapted to provide, together with said images, information relating to medical diagnostic parameters comprises means man-machine interface (36) for selecting at least one region of interest in each image and for the development of an axis of symmetry in an organ or an organ part examined, calculating means (32, 34) for calculating coordinates of an image of the region of interest with respect to the axis of symmetry, and means for displaying, on the image of the organ, the image of the region of interest and information corresponding relative said parameters.
