Hybrid Monte Carlo CT Simulation on GPU
Developing image reconstruction algorithms for diagnostic medical devices requires physically accurate and effective simulation tools. In this paper we present a hybrid Monte Carlo (MC) particle simulation method for Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. To meet the performance requirements, we combine several variance reduction techniques and tailor the algorithms for effective GPU execution. Var...
متن کاملParallel Monte Carlo Tree Search on GPU
Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a method for making optimal decisions in artificial intelligence (AI) problems, typically move planning in combinatorial games. It combines the generality of random simulation with the precision of tree search. It can theoretically be applied to any domain that can be described in terms of state, action pairs and simulation used to forecast outcomes such as dec...
متن کاملAccelerated GPU based SPECT Monte Carlo simulations.
Monte Carlo (MC) modelling is widely used in the field of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as it is a reliable technique to simulate very high quality scans. This technique provides very accurate modelling of the radiation transport and particle interactions in a heterogeneous medium. Various MC codes exist for nuclear medicine imaging simulations. Recently, new strategies exp...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo and Quasi-Monte-Carlo Methods for Numerical Integration
We consider the problem of numerical integration in dimension s, with eventually large s; the usual rules need a very huge number of nodes with increasing dimension to obtain some accuracy, say an error bound less than 10−2; this phenomenon is called ”the curse of dimensionality”; to overcome it, two kind of methods have been developped: the so-called Monte-Carlo and Quasi-Monte-Carlo methods. ...
متن کاملNumerical Integration and Monte Carlo Integration
Here we will begin by deriving the basic trapezoidal and Simpson’s integration formulas for functions that can be evaluated at all points in the integration range, i.e, there are no singularities in this range. We will also show how the remaining discretization errors present in these low-order formulas can be systematically extrapolated away to arbitrarily high order; a method known as Romberg...
