NI has a rich set of resources that may help you in your work. NI has a web page dedicated to Ultrasound including a starter kit using LV code. You can find it here:

NI also has a Life Science page with numerous resources including Biotechnology, medica device testing, and pharmaceutical applications which you can find here:

As for the endoscope question, a number of partners have automated the testing of endoscopes using LabVIEW and imaging tools. You can read more here:

As for Biobench, it is a useful tool but many customers would prefer to work with the benefit of the full LabVIEW system. NI created a Datalogger starter kit that looks like Biobench but gives you the ability to customize it to your needs. You can find it here:

For automating a CT scanner, I have heard of alliance partners doing this but don't know the details. I can check around if you like. The interface (either DAQ or serial could vary based on which machine you are working on)
Please read the above information and then contact me if you want to talk further about pricing.
