Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for distributed computing an S transform dataset of multidimensional image data of an object. The multidimensional image data are fast Fourier transformed into Fourier domain producing a Fourier spectrum. The respective Fourier frequencies are then partitioned into a plurality of portions of frequencies for simultaneously processing. Processing of each of the plurality of portions of the Fourier frequencies is assigned to a respective processor of a plurality of processors. The Fourier spectrum of multidimensional image data and each of the plurality of portions of the Fourier frequencies is transmitted to the respective processor. The portions of the Fourier frequencies are then simultaneously processed in order to produce the S transform dataset. The S transform data are then collected and stored. The method and system for computing the S transform according to the invention provides a substantially increased computation speed enabling use of the S transform for practical applications in a clinical setting.
