Array processors in medical imaging

Journal Article · · Computer; (United States)

Medical image processing has historically included the use of general-purpose array processors and related special-purpose high-speed computational devices. Current imaging modalities include nuclear medical imaging, computed tomography scanners, ultrasound techniques, positron emission tomography, digital radiography, and nuclear magnetic resonance. This article focuses on just three: computed tomography, digital radiography, and nuclear magnetic resonance. These modalities represent the three techniques where the use of aps is most easily justified. 9 references.
