With the development of medical imaging technology, various techniques have been developed and used to visually understand the inside of the living body. However, these technologies can only directly obtain images and videos, and diagnosis is still performed by human hands, such as physicians. There are great expectations for software that can reduce such labor, and an increasing number of technologies are already being used in the field of medicine, but the target is limited because they require knowledge and skills in both medicine (medical imaging) and computing technology. Therefore, in this study, researchers in the medical imaging and high-performance computing fields are collaborating to accelerate and scale up the image reconstruction of PET. This paper describes the details of this effort and the results obtained so far.
