Use of transputers in a 3-D positron emission tomograph
1991
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging
The use of a VME-based transputer network as a parallel processing engine for positron volume imaging is discussed. We find that the speedups of parallel networks depend on two major factors: the ratio of computation to communication for a task, and the size of the task, and we give a simple model to explore the limits to speedups. Through actual implementation we show that real-time PVI data acquisition can be achieved with about 20 transputer nodes, and we estimate that 3-D image
