While several of the deans own SEs, and the dean has suggested that he'd like to see every medical student own a macintosh, the majority of people here own IBMs or compatibles. If anyone has access to directly-scanned radiographs, CT-scans, or MRI scans, especially ones demonstrating pathology, please contact me. We've scanned x-rays, angiograms and CT-scans published in textbooks, but the resolution is not detailed enough for our purposes. We'd like to show how one can directly manipulate brightness and contrast on-screen with a program such as ImageStudio, to demonstrate/enhance subtle density gradations. We'd also like to demonstrate how color mapping or the application of certain convolutions could enhance these images, especially for the non-radiologist. I can ftp it from your site, or I could send diskettes to you. Thanks in advance, -- Brian ==== Brian K. Martin, M.D. Assistant Research Professor, Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, John A.
