Someone I met at a local Amiga dealer many years ago bought cadavers and sliced up frozen cross sections to be imaged in to some sort of medical school app. He said he used Amiga's exclusively although we didn't get in to the software. Not sure that job would work for me.
There was an article in Amazing Computing about medical imaging and the Amiga. I wonder if it was about the same person? There's also the Visible Human Project, which I think had some Amiga involvement. Dhomas Trenn's website has (had?) good information on it.
We also had a newsletter here in the States called Scientific Amigan that covered academic and other serious uses for the Amiga. I bet there's some fun stuff in there!
