MicroView 2.5.0 alpha8 is now available from our website for win64 platforms; additional platforms to follow (once we undo the damage that upgrading to Mountain Lion has caused us on our Mac development machine). This release has a number of major changes, including the replacement of the Tkinter -based user interface …
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 …
Another GPU reconstruction progress update day: See below two line profiles drawn through an aluminum stack phantom, imaged on a CT-120 microCT scanner. A typical “cupping” artifact, caused by beam hardening, is clearly visible in the left-hand, uncorrected image. The right image demonstrates the advantage …
Our efforts to integrate our GPU reconstruction engine into different CT scanner platforms continue: see below a video showing the installation process for the Parallax Innovations GPU engine on an eXplore CT-120 console computer. The total install time is about 2 minutes, not including the download of the software. We …
A couple weeks ago, I introduced the Rapid Fluoroscopy application and hinted that it could be used for more than the typical fluoroscopy applications. In this post, I’m going to elaborate on that.
Parallax Innovations has been working with Dr. Eugene Wong and Ph.D. candidate Michael Jensen at the University of …
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 …
Parallax Innovations is pleased to introduce our latest software product - Rapid Fluoroscopy for the CT-120. It is an inexpensive way to expand the capabilities of your scanner by opening up a suite of fluoroscopy applications such as:
coronary angiography gastrointestinal studies (barium meal/swallow) intravenous …
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 …
The MicroView website on sourceforg.net got an overhaul today; we’re using sphinx now to produce the main website and MicroView online help. If you have a moment, let us know what you think!
MicroView on OS X
Over the past few years, the future of MicroView on the Mac platform was a bit grim: the only available binary was 32-bit, PPC-only, and relied on the Carbon compatibility layer. Performance was lacklustre compared to Windows and Linux releases. With the release of OS X Lion, the original …
