Array processors: an introduction to their architecture, software, and applications in nuclear medicine.
Array processors are "number crunchers" that dramatically enhance the processing power of nuclear medicine computer systems for applications dealing with the repetitive operations involved in digital image processing of large segments of data. The general architecture and the programming of array processors are introduced, along with some applications of array processors to the reconstruction of emission tomographic images, digital image enhancement, and functional image formation.
