Chapter 40. GPU Acceleration of Iterative Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Dana Schaa, Benjamin Brown, Byunghyun Jang, Perhaad Mistry, Rodrigo Dominguez, David Kaeli, Richard Moore and Daniel B. Kopans
Iterative digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that mitigates many of the shortcomings associated with traditional mammography. Using multiple low-dose X-ray projections with an iterative maximum likelihood estimation method, DBT is able to create a high-quality, three-dimensional reconstruction of the breast. However, the usability of DBT depends largely on making the time for computation acceptable within a clinical setting.
In this work we accelerate our DBT algorithm on multiple CUDA-enabled GPUs, reducing the execution time to under ...
