I don't know about PV-wave, but IDL is an excellent platform under which to do
your number crunching and image processing.  It's flexible, fast, and NASA uses
it for a good deal (if not most) of its imaging.  Remember those first few 
Hubble Space Telescope images?  They were all loaded into, processed, and 
displayed with IDL.  It's also very easy to use.

(I'm not associated with the publishers or programmers of IDL - just a fan)
