High performance model based image reconstruction

High performance model based image reconstruction
In Computed Tomography (CT) methods, Model Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) produces higher quality images than commonly used Filtered Backprojection (FBP) but at a very high computational cost. We describe a new MBIR implementation, PSV-ICD, which significantly reduces the computational cost of MBIR while retaining its benefits. It describes a novel organization of the scanner data into super-voxels (SV) that, combined with a super-voxel buffer (SVB), dramatically increases locality and prefetching while enabling parallelism across SVs. Experimental data is presented showing an average speedup of 187X on 20 cores.
