1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundWith the introduction of Flat Panel Detector technology, cone-beam CT (CBCT) has become a novel image modality, and widely applied in clinical practices. C-arm mounted CBCT has shown extra suitability in image guided interventional surgeries. During practice, how to acquire high resolution and high quality 3D images with the real time requirement of clinical applications remain challenging.

methodsIn this paper, we propose a GPU based accelerated method for fast C-arm CBCT 3D image reconstructions. A filtered back projection method is optimized and implemented with GPU parallel acceleration technique. A distributed system is designed to make full use of the image acquisition consumption to hide the reconstruction delay to further improve system performance.

resultsWith the acceleration both in algorithm and system design, we show that our method significantly increases system efficiency. The optimized GPU accelerated FDK algorithm improves the reconstruction efficiency. The system performance is further enhanced with the proposed system design by 26% and reconstruction delay is accelerated by 2.1 times when 90 frames of projections are used. When the number of frames used increases to 120, the numbers are 39% and 3.3 times. We also show that when the projection acquisition consumption increases, the reconstruction acceleration rate increases significantly.
