The document discusses parallelizing iterative image reconstruction algorithms on multi-core systems. It analyzes ART, MLEM, and MAPEM algorithms run sequentially and in parallel. Results show MLEM achieves best PSNR values while MAPEM requires fewer iterations than MLEM and ART for large images. Parallelizing the algorithms via OpenMP yields speedups of up to 7x compared to sequential versions by distributing reconstruction tasks across multiple cores.
