With respect to 3-D medical imaging via CT scan, I know that it used to require something like the IBM RISC-6000 server, and now a Sun workstation will do just fine and some advanced software will work on a PC. The very first 3-D medical imaging I ever saw was at Johns Hopkins using the same type of IBM "Big Blue" supercomputer that beat Garry Kasparov in 1997.

This is the type of productivity increase that can't be measured by traditional means. It's a loooooonnng way from using a computer as a word processor.

I love this stuff - the top URL has animated 3d MRI images of hamster lungs and rat lungs in vivo. The bottom one has an MPG of an 3D MRI of a child's brain rotating.
