Framework for Heterogeneous Medical Image Computing and Visualization

Primary LanguageC++OtherNOASSERTION

FAST (Framework for Heterogeneous Medical Image Computing and Visualization) is an open-source cross-platform framework with the main goal of making it easier to do processing and visualization of medical images on heterogeneous systems (CPU+GPU).

A detailed description of the framework design can be found on the project wiki or in the research article:
FAST: framework for heterogeneous medical image computing and visualization.
