Figure Legend Snippet: Screenshot of an implementation of a GUI using CONRAD. All algorithms that are used are reported with the respective citation. Supported formats are the Medline and BibTeX citations styles.
Techniques Used:
Figure Legend Snippet: General structure of CONRAD. All algorithms and functions are separated from the user interface. This allows first algorithm design close to a GUI while large scale experiments can be executed on a cluster via command line interface. Of course other applications can also access CONRAD. Many of its algorithms are embedded into ImageJ plugins as an example of the API use.
Techniques Used:
Figure Legend Snippet: Graphical representation of the parallel processing scheme on multiple resources. For the user and the developer of CONRAD parallelizing algorithms is a minor concern: CONRAD plans and distributes a parallel algorithm automatically on the available hardware. The streaming concept in CONRAD allows the use of parallel streams. Here, the processing pipeline for a 3D reconstruction is shown. All data are streamed from a projection source, that is, either a scanner or an offline file through the pipeline. After the projection domain filter, the next three steps can be performed in parallel (here: on four parallel CPUs). This is followed by a step that uses the graphics card exclusively again. Hence, the data have to be buffered and the step cannot be performed in parallel, as there is only 1 GPU in the system. The next step can be performed in parallel again followed by the last step, which collects the data in an image data sink, e.g., a file container.
Techniques Used:
Figure Legend Snippet: CONRAD offers the possibility to reconstruct data from various systems. We show reconstructions using the table top system on the left and a Siemens zeego system shown on the right. Both systems are installed at the Stanford University.
