Kristine, a couple of years ago I was also interested in radiographs to be
processed and viewed on the Amiga.  At the time, if memory serves, the Amiga
was chosen by (some group at) UCLA -- I think they said it was something like
the best buy for the money.  You might want to check out the
groups/departments/etc. that do brain scan tomography.

Cheers.
