While I can't tell you of one for the Mac or IBM, I can point you to
one available for the Amiga. Here follows the description from The
Fred Fish Disk Collection, #137 :

Ct		An Amiga program to display images from a CT scanner,
		along with several interesting sample images of scans
		of real people, including a skull, brain, heart, and
		spine.	Each image is 256 by 256 pixels in 2048 gray
		scale.	The display software, though it has a primitive
		user interface, is quite powerful, including functions
		like convolutions, averaging, laplacians, unsharp
		masking, edge detection, gradients, etc.  Binary only.

You may want to get hold of this an try contacting the author for
more info/help. Or you may just want to go out and get an Amiga and
use this :-) (sorry, I couldn't resist)... Oh, and the Fish Disks are
available at any good local Amiga User Group.
