Default lofting freezes rhino 2.0

hi,
Im trying to loft a series of polylines contained in an iges file. The lines are circular (not perfectly but form a loop) and stacked vertically, one on top of the other. The radius of the lines increase as you travel in one direction, they were obtained from a Ct scan and represent the inner canal of a human bone. Now when i try to loft this structure the function begins to run but after a time the program freezes. Can anyone tell me what I need to do with the loft function to get it to work, or what other functions to use.

I have also tried using the surface function by entering a cloud of pts but it requires equal number of pts on each level, which i dont have. If i attempt to interpolate pts into my file (so that i have an equal number of pts on each level) the surface which the function produces has very irregular normals.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thank You
