Abstract:

For image registration of breast MRI and X-ray mammography we apply detailed biomechanical models. Synthesizing X-ray mammograms from these models is an important processing step for optimizing registration parameters and deriving images for multi-modal diagnosis. A fast computation time for creating synthetic images is essential to enable a clinically relevant application. In this paper we present a method to create synthetic X-ray attenuation images with an hardware-optimized ray tracing algorithm on recent graphics processing units’ (GPU) ray tracing (RT) cores. The ray tracing algorithm is able to calculate the attenuation of the X-rays by tracing through a triangular polygon-mesh. We use the Vulkan API, which enables access to RT cores. One frame for a triangle mesh with over 5 million triangles in the mesh and a detector resolution of 1080×1080 can be calculated and transferred to and from the GPU in about 0.76 s on NVidia RTX 2070 Super GPU. Calculation duration of an interactive application without the transfer overhead allows real time application with more than 30 frames per second (fps) even for very large polygon models. The presented method is able to calculate synthetic X-ray images in a short time and has the potential for real-time applications. ... mehr
