Abstract
The efficient implementation of a diffraction tomography method for medical imaging is addressed within the framework of High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. A non-linear optimization method for the solution of the inverse scattering problem is implemented on a shared memory model computer. Linear speed-up and significant reduction in the total execution time is achieved when the program is executed in parallel, enabling the feasibility of the method for realistic medical imaging applications.
