Claim One:
1. A process for processing a plurality of spectral data sets (J1-Jn) intended to be exploited by a molecular imaging process, each spectral data set (J1-Jn) being defined by a set of spatial positions (Xi, Yj) with each of which is associated a molecular spectrum of at least two dimensions containing a set of molecular information (S(Xi, Yj)), the process comprising the following steps: acquiring the spectral data sets from an analytical method, for each data set (J1-Jn) cutting the molecular spectrum associated with each position (Xi, Yj) into several sections of spectrum (T1-Tm) each containing some of the molecular information of said spectrum, inserting the sections (T1-Tm) obtained for each position (Xi, Yj) of each data set (J1-Jn) into a database (BDD), such that a set of indexed sections of spectrum (T1-Tm) is associated with each position (Xi, Yj) of each data set (J1-Jn), selecting in the database (BDD) following a request relative to molecular information of interest, the section(s) (T1-Tm) containing the molecular information of interest, selecting within each section (T1-Tm) said molecular information of interest, cutting the molecular spectra (S(Xi, Yj)) into sections of spectrum (T1-Tm) as per at least one predetermined pitch (P′), inserting a reference axis (Aref) setting up correspondence between points index of the different sections (T1-Tm) and the corresponding molecular information, selecting the section (T1-Tm) containing the molecular information of interest as a function of the reference axis (Aref) and of the predetermined pitch (P′), and viewing and analyzing the molecular information of interest in the form of a set of data maps (C1-Cn), each corresponding to a data set (J1-Jn).
