An Object-Oriented Library for 3D PET Reconstruction Using Parallel Computing

  • Conference paper
Bildverarbeitung für die Medizin 1999

Part of the book series: Informatik aktuell ((INFORMAT))

Summary

We present a object-oriented library of C++ features for 3D PET reconstruction. This library has been designed so that it can be used for many algorithms and scanncr geometries. Its flexibility, portability and modular design have helped greatly to (a) develop new iterative algorithms, (b) compare iterative and analytic methods using simulated, phantom and patient data, (c) adapt and apply the developed reconstruction algorithms to different designs of tomographs. As 3D iterative reconstruction algorithms are time consuming, the library contains classes and functions to run parts of the reconstruction in parallel, using parallel platforms with a distributed memory architecture.
