Reconstruction for Time-Domain In Vivo EPR 3D Multigradient Oximetric Imaging—A Parallel Processing Perspective
Table 2
Pseudocode showing the reconstruction and oximetry thresholding (stages 2 and 3 of the parallel system).
()
Set parallel oxygen thresholding on the GUI
()
A filtered data set is chosen from the shared directory of the server
()
Start time point, increment step value, total time points, dead time, zero-factor are provided
()
Raw data of 12 time points (4 time points per gradient) are selected from the filtered gradient data by calling a Mex C code and stored as three binary TPS files in the same shared directory
()
For every gradient, the raw data of the 4 time points are read from the binary files into a variable and perform the steps 6 and 7
()
Baseline correction is performed on the each of the 4 time point data
()
FOV is computed and zero-filling is performed
()
3D FFT-based reconstruction is performed on the time point data to generate twelve 3D spin density images
()
3D mesh view of the sixth spin density image is displayed
()
A spin threshold value for oxygen computation is input on the GUI
()
Create and configure local scheduler and create a parallel job for line width and oxygen computation
()
Assign number of workers to 4 and assign the oximetric threshold code to the workers
()
Create task objects for the parallel job and run the parallel job to job queue
()
Store the LW images from the results of the parallel job, in matrices
()
Oxygen images are then computed from the LW images
()
The sagittal, axial, and coronal planes of both spin density and oxygen images are displayed on the GUI simultaneously
()
The steps from 11 to 17 can be repeated for a different spin threshold value
