[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nAxRecon Leverages the Processing power of GPUs to Speed-Up CT Scanner\n\n\nWorkflows\n\n\nEuropean Congress of Radiology, VIENNA, Austria, March 7 /CNW/ -\nAcceleware Corp. (TSX-V: AXE), a leading developer of acceleration solutions\nfor high-performance computing, today announced the launch of its AxRecon\nimage reconstruction solution for the medical imaging, security, and\nnon-destructive testing markets. Image reconstruction for Computed Tomography\n(CT) Scanners often takes hours of processing time and represents a major\nbarrier to efficiency for many organizations. Acceleware's solution reduces\nthe time required to complete this work from hours to minutes to speed up the\nimaging workflow. AxRecon will be demonstrated at the European Congress of\nRadiology (ECR) this week in Vienna, Austria, booth No. 435.\n\n\n"Our entry into the medical and commercial imaging market space\nrepresents a significant growth opportunity for Acceleware, and is consistent\nwith Acceleware's long-term growth strategy to tackle new markets," said Sean\nKrakiwsky, CEO of Acceleware. "The benefits of higher throughput and image\nquality that are already being realized by early customers of AxRecon(TM) will\nhelp us drive adoption of this product within the broader imaging market."\n\n\nThe long processing time required for CT image reconstruction limits\nthroughput and quality for companies, clinicians, and researchers. In order to\nmeet the demands of their workload, these users often sacrifice image quality\nto save on processing time. AxRecon works with existing cone beam CT scanners\nto eliminate the bottleneck by significantly speeding up filtered back\nprojection computations. This enables medical and commercial users to\naccelerate the reconstruction of their data and improve the quality of their\nimages without disrupting their current workflow.\n\n\nThe AxRecon solution combines Acceleware's proprietary software\nacceleration libraries with the massive parallel processing power of NVIDIA(R)\nGraphic Processing Units (GPUs) to dramatically increase the speed of\nsophisticated computations. AxRecon seamlessly integrates with existing CT\nscanners with minimal setup. By accelerating algorithms such as filtered\nback-projection image reconstruction, clients are able to increase the speed\nof their operations and ...
