Parallel Computing for Registration and Visualization of 3D Medical Images

Abhishek Shukla, Abhishiktha H

Abstract


Registration and visualization of 3D medical images has received ample attention from researchers in past few years. The reasons for this being there are numerous applications in diagnostic as well as treatment settings, benefiting from integrating the complementary character of multimodal images. The second important reason is the recent availability of computing power and computer architecture that can handle the entire bulk of 3D data –even though the size of clinical images has also grown considerably –while older methods often required data reduction of the images to, e.g., a limited point set, surface, or abstract representation.
