Recent years have brought tremendous advancements in Graphics Processing Units development. The computing power of the current top-of-the-line graphics cards reaches more than 10 TFLOPS, which is about 100 times more than the average modern desktop CPU.
Three-dimensional reconstruction modes available in RadiAnt DICOM Viewer (3D Volume Rendering; 3D Multiplanar Reformation) are based on algorithms that require tens of billions of mathematic operations per one frame of reconstructed image. When CPU is used for such calculations, progressive rendering has to be used to facilitate the fluidity required for smooth interactions. Only when a user stops volume manipulation can the final image be rendered in best quality. However, if a compatible GPU card is detected in the system, it can be used by RadiAnt DICOM Viewer to crunch the numbers at much faster rates, so that smooth interaction with volume can be achieved at best rendering quality.
GPU rendering mode is automatically enabled in 3D VR and 3D MPR windows when a fast Nvidia graphics card is detected. If a slower card is detected, GPU mode has to be enabled manually.
•A 64-bit version of RadiAnt DICOM Viewer is required to make use of GPU-accelerated rendering, this mode is not supported in the 32-bit version of the viewer.
•The latest Nvidia drivers should be installed (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx).
•Nvidia CUDA compatible GPU is required with the compute capability version 3.0 or later:
