CT Scanners and MRI

Overview

Enabling ML-based image analysis and acceleration for compute-intensive image reconstruction

AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoCs

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) machines are large, highly synchronous machines that require significant computational capabilities across various subsystems. AMD adaptive SoC platforms, like Versal™ AI Edge and Versal™ AI Core series, can accelerate even the most compute intensive image reconstruction (2D FFT for MRI and back-project for CT) and help integrate ML-based image analysis.

AMD Zynq™ Integration

Integration with AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ adaptive SoCs provides a platform for the high-speed SiC inverter control required in gradient amplifiers, for the RF waveform synthesis required in RF transmit chain, and for the massively parallel ADC interfaces and signal processing required on the RF receive side. The coupling of an ARM® processing system in each sub-system enables low-latency critical communications, maintenance, and co-processing functions to be implemented in a rich OS environment.
