Mapping Techniques for Parallel 3D Coronary Arteriography

Abstract

The paper investigates schemes f o r implementing the 3 0 reconstruction of the Coronary Ar te r i e s o n a! MIMD sys t em. The performance of ihe: s y s t em f o r calculating the 3 0 descript ion of the uri'erial tree i s redated t o the mapping strategy selecte,d. The image processing algorithms can be parallelized t o provide fa-, vorable performance for the complete computat ion cy-, d e . Results are provided for t w o mappzng approaches; for an X r a y image, and an extension is proposed f o r the mult iv iew case.
