[comp.graphics] X-Ray Imaging

Looking for information on file formats generally used in X-Ray
images. Furthermore am interested in what X-Ray equipment is out there 
that will allow X-Ray images to be delivered direct to computers so 
that they be compressed for storage and the file formats delivered
by these systems.

Thanks,

Ron Cayne

(Assuming that you're talking about medical Xray images)
1) There is an SPIE conference covering most of the issue, Medical
   Imaging V, 2/23-3/1 1991, San Jose CA. Info on how to obtain
   Proceedings: tel 206/676-3290, fax 206/647-1445.
2) There is a newsgroup in which these and related topics are
   discussed, sci.med.physics.

One of GE's latest x-ray systems for cineangiograms has an ethernet interface
