Using Multi-Processors To Reconstruct Images With Proton Computed Tomography, Chenwei Xu

Theses Digitization Project

This project will employ the use of multi-processor technology to reconstruct image data as fast as possible. Two-dimensional image reconstruction technique reconstructs images by solving a linear equation: A x x =b, where A is the path matrix of proton histories, b is electron matrix of the image, and x is the matrix of image. One row in matrix A represents one beam. Matrix A consists of a number of beam projections to the image, and each projection consists of a number of beams. Contains source code.
