Fixed-point Real Time Mri Reconstruction Using Connex Array
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper approaches the fixed-point computation involved in magnetic resonance image (MRI) reconstruction with most common technique, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on a parallelcomputing machine, Connex Array. We will show that fixed-point computation is a good alternative in real-time magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction as it can seriously improve reconstruction time (about 75% better than using floating-point operations) when large amount of data must be computed and image quality is not critical (dynamic angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging).

متن کاملReal-time Packet Filtering with the Connex Array
A fundamental problem in network detection intrusion on high-speed networks is the ability to filter and analyze packet headers in real time. In this paper we present the Connex ArrayTM circuit, a new general-purpose programmable processor-in-memory (PIM) architecture, and how it can be used to accelerate real-time packet filtering, more specifically the problem of matching IP addresses against...
متن کاملReal-Time Spiral Image Reconstruction Using Fixed-Point Calculations
INTRODUCTION Among fast MRI methods, spiral imaging method has long been considered as an alternative to echo planar imaging (EPI). This is mainly due to the fact that the image quality of spiral imaging is better than EPI when motion is presented. In real-time imaging applications such as fluoroscopy, the superior motion property of spiral proves to be an advantage. On the other hand, spiral i...
متن کاملFPGA system for real-time computational extended depth of field imaging using phase aperture coding
We present a proof-of-concept end-to-end system for computational extended depth of field (EDOF) imaging. The acquisition is performed through a phase-coded aperture implemented by placing a thin wavelength-dependent optical mask inside the pupil of a conventional camera lens, as a result of which, each color channel is focused at a different depth. The reconstruction process receives the raw B...
متن کاملA Reconfigurable Real-time Reconstruction Engine for Parallel MRI
Parallel MRI acquisitions are generally reconstructed into images off-line, on PCs and computer clusters. Here, we present an innovative single-FPGA engine that performs real-time 2D-FFT image reconstruction from arrays of up to 16 coils. Partial reconfiguration enables rapid switching of FPGA modules for maximal flexibility and lower hardware cost. If the engine is integrated on to an FPGA-bas...
