GPU Accelerated Image Registration in Two and Three Dimensions

چکیده
Medical image registration tasks of large volume datasets, especially in the non-rigid case, often put a heavy burden on computing resources. GPUs are a promising new approach to address computational intensive image processing tasks. We investigate recently introduced GPU hardware features that accelerate 2D and 3D rigid and nonrigid registration tasks. Our implementation is entirely GPU based.

Ultra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

متن کاملGraphics Processing Unit-Accelerated Nonrigid Registration of MR Images to CT Images During CT-Guided Percutaneous Liver Tumor Ablations.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Accuracy and speed are essential for the intraprocedural nonrigid magnetic resonance (MR) to computed tomography (CT) image registration in the assessment of tumor margins during CT-guided liver tumor ablations. Although both accuracy and speed can be improved by limiting the registration to a region of interest (ROI), manual contouring of the ROI prolongs the registrat...
متن کاملAccelerating the image registration of MRI volumes by modern GPGPU parallel computation
Introduction Image registration [1] has been an important topic in the MRI applications, such as longitudinal follow-up studies, brain-normalization for group statistics and motion correction for fMRI studies. There are many different algorithms of image registrations. In general, the calculations require a lot of iterations of coordinate transformations to find the displacements and rotations ...
متن کاملAccelerated Medical Image Registration using the Graphics Processing Unit by Daniel Henrik Adler
Registration of three-dimensional images is an important task in biomedical science. However, computational costs of 3D registration algorithms have hindered their widespread use in many clinical and research workflows. We describe an automated medical image registration framework, including a novel implementation of the mutual information similarity metric, that executes entirely on the commod...
