Abstract

The registration of corresponding patient volumes is often a pre-requisite for medical imaging tasks. Accurate alignment, however, usually results in high computational complexity and can hence take a considerable amount of time. This is particularly true with 3-D volume data which adds another dimension to the registration process. One possibility of keeping registration times feasible is to distribute computation among several processors so that it maybe accomplished in parallel. This chapter provides a short survey of parallel registration approaches which have been proposed together with some recent research adopting a blackboard architecture for distributed high performance image and volume registration purposes.
