Solutions - Imaging Solutions - Integrators
Acceleware is bringing innovation to the imaging community by accelerating image reconstruction with Acceleware’s AxRecon™ solution. Acceleware’s solutions dramatically increase the speed of the intensive computations required by today's technology to examine complex diagnostic images.
What is Image Reconstruction?
Image reconstruction is a way to generate three dimensional images from a series of X-ray projections.
Today's Challenge
The imaging community is often faced with the challenge of the development and implementation of today’s limited imaging technology. Treatment planning technology requires repetitive time-consuming calculations that create a burden on the healthcare system.
AxRecon
Acceleware’s AxRecon solution accelerates image reconstruction for micro-CT scanning with the processing power of GPUs (graphics processing units). AxRecon provides a flexible API, which easily integrates with users' current reconstruction software. Its modular design allows integrators to choose specific sections to accelerate with AxRecon, therefore allowing users to retain their proprietary components of the algorithm.
The Acceleware Solution
Acceleware’s software solution – AxRecon – integrates several features and benefits to accelerate image reconstruction and speed up the complex computations required.
Acceleware provides access to the massively parallel, multithreaded compute resources of GPUs. GPUs can dramatically accelerate computations that are inherently parallel and data intensive.
- FASTER IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION SPEED
Unleash productivity and innovation by completing image reconstructions in record time. Begin to analyze your data sooner with near real time results.
- NO LOSS OF IMAGE QUALITY
Massive parallel capabilities of the Acceleware AxRecon solution provide ample computational power to eliminate any need for reduced image fidelity.
- INCREASE COMPUTE DENSITY
AxRecon is an energy saving desktop supercomputer with the capability of a cluster, right at your desk.
- QUALITY ENGINEERED PRODUCTS
Have confidence in products that are functionally and extensively stress-tested by the world’s largest manufacturer of GPU technology, NVIDIA®.
- SEAMLESS APPLICATION INTEGRATION
The AxRecon solution easily integrates with your existing imaging platforms for a simple and quick upgrade process.
- RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Gain increase in productivity by putting time saving processing power in the hands of the imaging team.

Acceleware's Imaging Solutions for Tomorrow
In the near future Acceleware aims to support forward projection, an iterative method. Unparalleled performance will be further reached through additional implementations to the GPU such as FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and various corrections which will include but are not inclusive to: beam hardening, flat field correction, and artifact reduction. Helical scanning will be possible with the incorporation of the Pi method.
Future plans for Acceleware’s image reconstruction acceleration will embrace more iterative algorithms which could consist of:
- OSEM (Ordered Subset Expectation of Maximization)
- SART (Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques)
- MAP (Maximum a posteriori)
Have faster workflow without any compromises in image quality.
