Abstract

Expectation Maximization (EM) and the Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique (SIRT) are two iterative computed tomography reconstruction algorithms often used when the data contain a high amount of statistical noise, have been acquired from a limited angular range, or have a limited number of views. A popular mechanism to increase the rate of convergence of these types of algorithms has been to perform the correctional updates within subsets of the projection data. This has given rise to the method of Ordered Subsets EM (OS-EM) and the Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (SART). Commodity graphics hardware (GPUs) has shown great promise to combat the high computational demands incurred by iterative reconstruction algorithms. However, we find that the special architecture and programming model of GPUs add extra constraints on the real-time performance of ordered subsets algorithms, counteracting the speedup benefits of smaller subsets observed on CPUs. This gives rise to new relationships governing the optimal number of subsets as well as relaxation factor settings for obtaining the smallest wall-clock time for reconstruction-a factor that is likely application-dependent. In this paper we study the generalization of SIRT into Ordered Subsets SIRT and show that this allows one to optimize the computational performance of GPU-accelerated iterative algebraic reconstruction methods.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Xu ve diğerleri [26] 2010 yılında 3B elektron tomografi iteratif geriçatma algoritmasını CUDA platformunu kullanarak hızlandırmışlardır.

    “Xu ve diğerleri [26] 2010 yılında 3B elektron tomografi iteratif geriçatma algoritmasını CUDA platformunu kullanarak hızlandırmışlardır.”

    From GPU Programlamada CUDA Platformu Kullanılan Paralel Görüntü İşleme Çalışmalarının İncelenmesi (2020) · cites this paper as [26]

    Section 2.2 (page unavailable) explicitly says the reported results were obtained with GLSL shaders, not CUDA. The Conclusions (page unavailable) say the authors planned to investigate CUDA in future work. The paper studies GPU-accelerated iterative CT reconstruction, but the cited claim incorrectly describes it as a CUDA acceleration of 3D electron tomography. (LLM, conf=0.93)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
