Population ageing and the rising demand for early-stage diagnosis are placing increasing demands on medical imaging to provide faster, more efficient and enhanced diagnosis accuracy.
As a result of the rapid development of deep learning algorithms and GPU-accelerated computing, AI is considered to be a catalyst in fulfilling the growing demand of medical imaging. According to medical market research reports, the market for Artificial Intelligence in medical imaging is expected to grow at a CAGR of +30% from 2021 to 2026 .
With over two decades of expertise and experience in optimizing edge computing performance, ADLINK offers GPU solutions to assist medical imaging equipment manufacturers worldwide in achieving consistently clear and precise medical imaging utilizing AI applications.
Challenges of Medical Imaging
Time-consuming Image Reconstruction
Medical imaging involves a series of complex signal and image reconstruction processes that convert raw data detected by X-ray or ultrasound sensors into 2D cross-sectional or 3D volumetric images. This time-consuming image processing and the increasing demand of early-stage diagnosis overwhelms the available bandwidth of medical imaging providers.
Inconsistent Image Quality
Image quality is the key to precise diagnosis. Noisy images can lead to misdiagnosis or result in the need for repeated scanning of patients.
Increasing Demand for Equipment Portability
For patients undergoing critical treatment, transfer to standard CT scanning room would expose the patients to potential risks and dangers. Therefore, hospitals increasingly rely on portable medical imaging devices.

Benefits of Industrial-Grade GPU-Enabled Platforms
Direct memory access speeds up data transmission with reduced latency
ADLINK’s industrial-grade GPU-enabled platforms offer high system responsiveness with embedded GPUs. In contrast with graphics cards for gaming, embedded GPUs feature NVIDIA GPUDirect® remote direct memory access (RDMA) which can deliver an 80% boost in data throughput by giving external data sources direct access to the GPU’s external memory. With this feature, data will not be copied into a CPU’s memory before reaching the GPU, significantly decreasing data transmission delay and system latency.
Accelerate medical image reconstruction with AI assistance to ensure consistent quality
ADLINK’s embedded MXM GPU modules based on NVIDIA Turing™ architecture offer computing acceleration for medical imaging. The Turing architecture enhanced CUDA® Cores which can deliver a 50% improvement in performance compared with the previous Pascal™ generation GPUs. Ray tracing, which is fundamental to 3D volumetric imaging, can now be rendered in real time on a single GPU with hardware accelerators known as RT Cores. The integrated Tensor Cores provide acceleration for matrix computations at the heart of deep learning neural network training and inferencing operations, which would benefit artifacts removal, contrast adjustment, and sharpness enhancement for clearer medical images.
Compact yet powerful to fit in space-limited portable medical imaging equipment
ADLINK’s DLAP-3000-CF series is one of the smallest industrial-grade GPU-enabled platforms in the world. It’s only 3.2 liters of volume, making it a perfect fit for space-limited portable medical imaging equipment.
Considering the substantial computing workloads image reconstruction requires and the massive amount of heat this generates, the high performance-per-watt and extended temperature options of ADLINK’s embedded MXM GPU modules allows the DLAP-3000-CF series to dictate the speed and accuracy of image reconstruction. Additionally, it's quiet active cooling design keeps the system stable with noise levels below 40db that no one would notice in the diagnosis
5-years lifespan to ensure long-term service for your investment
As an NVIDIA® Quadro® Embedded Partner, ADLINK offers embedded graphics cards with a 5-years product life. This 3-times the lifespan compared to the 1.5-years continuity of non-embedded graphics cards. Given the stringent, time-consuming development, verification and validation processes of medical devices, availability of key components like GPUs could mean the difference between continuity and end of life for medical imaging equipment.
