GPUs a ‘Game Changer’ for Nuking Noise in Nuclear Imaging

Wirth’s team of CUDA programmers runs Monte Carlo method transport calculations on GPUs to enhance image quality. Wirth’s work with GPUs on Monte Carlo methods have added to the capabilities of Budapest-based Mediso’s software used in its cameras for SPECT scans. “Until, GPUs appeared for general computing, it didn’t even make sense to try out Monte Carlo particle transport calculations in medical imaging.”
