Example Image Step-and-shoot respiratory or cardiac gated images are readily available from many Cone beam geometry microCT scanners on the market today. While admittedly the simplest method to acquire multiphase image data, step-and-shoot scan methods can spend upwards of 50% of the scan time simply accelerating and …

Today we turn our attention to theGE Locus Ultra platform in our continuing set of posts on GPU reconstruction: Integrating a faster GPU reconstruction engine into the GE Locus Ultra requires more careful consideration than some other CT scanners because of the system’s complexity and the need for end-to-end …

We’ve posted a YouTube video that some of our readers might find interesting: it’s a video showing a side-by-side comparison of CPU vs. GPU for CT conebeam reconstruction - the GPU engine here, is the one that Parallax Innovations has developed. We compare it against a conventional CPU-based multiprocessor …

Rumour has it that Nvidia is set to release their Kepler-based GTX 680 on March 22. With a reported 1536 CUDA cores, and retailing around $560 USD, this card may quickly become the low-cost GPU of choice - certainly at Parallax Innovations HQ. We’ve been happy with the cost-effectiveness and performance of the …

Thanks to our friends at Endra Inc. , we’ve had an opportunity to involve ourselves in GPU -based algorithm acceleration. This has ended up, for us, being a substantial deep-dive into technologies such as CUDA and OpenCL , but with significant results. The advantages of GPU acceleration over conventional …
