High Performance Computing (HPC) in Medical Image Analysis (MIA) at the Surgical Planning Laboratory (SPL)
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper outlines some of the usage and applications for HPC in the medical image analysis field. As opposed to traditional HPC work that focuses on developing new optimization strategies and improving the implementation of existing environments, the work reported here is focussing strongly on the utilization of HPC technology (both commercial and public domain) in an application driven clinical and research environment. Work performed at the Surgical Planning Laboratory (SPL) of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston is used as an example of this type of activity.

متن کاملHPC enabled real-time remote processing of laparoscopic surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique where surgeons insert a small video camera into the patient’s body to visualize internal organs and use small tools to perform surgical procedures. However, the benefit of small incisions has a drawback of limited subsurface tissue visualization. Image-guided surgery (IGS) uses images to map subsurface structures and can reduce the...
