A Fast Hierarchical Algorithm of Maximum Intensity Projection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The maximum intensity projection (MIP) is a useful tool to visualize 3D images. The processing time of the MIP depends on the number of voxels of the 3D data. Therefore, it is very difficult to realize the MIP of the 3D medical image in real time. In order to overcome the large amount of computation for the MIP, we have developed a hierarchical MIP method that can perform the first-step MIP with sub-sampled image. At second step, the lowresolution MIP image can be used to save the computation time of the full-resolution MIP image. The hierarchical MIP method was implemented and its computation complexity was analyzed.

Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...
