Local independence in computed tomography as a basis for parallel computing

Iterative CT reconstruction algorithms are superior to the standard convolution backpropagation (CBP) methods when reconstructing from a small number of views (hence less radiation), but are computationally costly. To reduce the execution time, this work implements and tests a parallel approach to i...
