Iterative Reconstruction for Transmission Tomography on GPU Using Nvidia CUDA

The iterative reconstruction algorithms for X-ray CT image reconstruction suffer from their high computational cost.Recently Nvidia releases common unified device architecture(CUDA),allowing developers to access to the processing power of Nvidia graphical processing units(GPUs),in order to perform general purpose computations.The use of the GPU,as an alternative computation platform,allows decreasing processing times,for parallel algorithms.This paper aims to demonstrate the feasibility of such an implement...
