Medical Imaging:
GPU Acceleration
Image creation from source sound, radio, X-ray or gamma emissions require significant amounts of signal and image processing – which benefits greatly from GPU acceleration since they are intrinsicly parallel – and ideal for General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) acceleration. Endoscope, CT, PET, and X-ray imaging also utilize similar levels of signal and image processing, making GPGPU ideal for medical imaging applications. Teaming NVIDIA Quadro with NVIDIA CUDA, the world’s most widely used, advanced and tested GPGPU development environment, makes NVIDIA Professional GPUs ranging from GPU down or MXM, to traditional PCIe Gen 3 compliant expansion boards, the best choice for medical imaging. NVIDIA professional graphics products are found in systems from leading providers such as NDS Surgical Imaging, Siemens, and GE Medical.
