ImageJ supports short (16-bit) and float (32-bit), but not 64-bit images
that I know of.
You could create a LongProcessor or a DoubleProcessor to implement
64-bit support, but they would not interact fully inside ImageJ -- would
need lots of tweaks all over.

Alternatively, you can create your own importer and represent them in
32-bit, doing some scaling.
