Radiology Workflow: Leveraging HPC in Preclinical Oncology

Delivering HPC and storage resources to medical
workflows using multi-gigabyte datasets poses
many challenges for today’s research and
cyberinfrastructure leaders. The IU School of
Medicine’s Department of Radiology requires timely
software reconstruction and analysis of large data
sets. IU technologists have optimized workflow
to improve productivity and utilize central HPC
resources for preclinical oncology research. By
utilizing IU’s Quarry supercomputer, radiologists are
able to accelerate reconstructions 25-fold, drastically
accelerating analytical productivity.
