   I am seeking a flexible frame grabber which would allow me to grab
   the video from medical imaging systems (CT, MR, etc).  The closest
   I have come is a $4-5000 board from Imaging Technology.  Does
   anyone have alternative suggestions (Medical imaging systems use
   non standard line lengths and video parameters in an attempt to make
   this difficult).


I have connected a Datacube MAXSCAN and ROISTORE to an SEM which would
be no more difficult than to the medical imaging system I would think.
The cost is somewhat higher than you quote however - maybe $7000 for
MAXSCAN and image storage board and a DIDIGMAX display board.  In this
application, a fast, color hardcopy was desired and the quality was
not an issue. 

Your needs as to the quality of the image would determine whether RS170
storage would be adequate.  Many of the image acquisition devices also
offer direct digital input in arbitrary formats to 16 bit pixel depth.
