Real-time GPU-based Analytic Minimization / Dynamic Programming Elastography

We have implemented Analytical Minimization/Dynamic programming (AM/DP) elastography on GPU (graphics processing unit) to compute real-time strain images. Real-time strain imaging has numerous applications e.g. in the detection of cancer tumors, ablation monitoring, etc. We have achieved a 27x-30x speedup over a CPU implementation. We show strain images of tissue mimicking phantom generated by the software running on GPU.
