Parallel Implementation of Cone Beam Tomography

Abstract - Three dimensional computed tomography is a computationally intensive procedure, requiring large amounts of R A M and processing power. Parallel methods for two dimensional computed tomography have been studied, but not edended or applied to 3D cone beam tomography. A discussion on how the 3D cone beam tomography problem can be implemented in parallel using MPI is given. We show an improvement in performance from 58.2% to
