Abstract
Rapid volumetric image reconstruction is of paramount importance to clinicians for
prompt diagnosis and analysis of complex tissue alternations. However, due to a high
demand on computation for either the analytical or iterative image reconstruction
algorithms, it is almost impossible to meet the requirement of real-time reconstruction.
In addition, the iterative reconstruction algorithms are able to produce higher quality
CT images in comparison with the Filtered BackProjection (FBP) method. The major
disadvantage of the iterative reconstruction is its slow reconstruction speed. On the
other hand, with high computing capability and broad banding characteristic,
multi-core processors provide a new possibility and hopeful start in both real-time
Digital Signal Processing and Image Processing in recent years. This project aims to
parallelize a variety of image reconstruction algorithms, including analytical and
iterative methods, and implement them on an existing multi-core platform system,
towards a real-time 3-D medical image reconstruction.
