Medical imaging processing algorithms can be computationally very demanding. Currently, computers with multiple computing devices, such as multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs, have emerged as powerful processing environments. These so called heterogeneous platforms have potential To significantly accelerate medical imaging applications. In This study, we evaluate The potential of heterogeneous platforms To improve The processing speed of medical imaging applications by using a new framework named FlowCL. This framework facilitates The development of parallel applications for heterogeneous platforms. We compared an implementation of region growing based method To automated cerebral infarct volume measurement with a new implementation Targeted for heterogeneous platforms. The results of This new implementation agree well with The original implementation and They are obtained with significant speed-up comparing To The sequential implementation. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
