From X ray to iPod
UCLA's Dr. Osman Ratib, who has a background in medical imaging, wanted to find a way to sidestep the $100,000 workstations needed to view high-resolution images that require 3D rendering. With help from programmer and fellow radiologist Dr. Antoine Rosset, he created Osirix, an open-source application, to enable radiologists to teleconference with the images on Mac desktop systems.
In addition to using the iPod for storing image sets, Ratib adapted the software to be compatible with the iPod Photo after its release in December, giving medical staff a "cute, sexy" way to show images to other personnel.

Main for storage, since the images are usually many many megapixels. The iPod photo's screen really would just be for quick reminders and the AV out would be used for teaching and such I'm guessing.

I think the means is cute and sexy, not the actual images. Oh wait... am I killing the joke?
