| Abstract | Image-guided surgery is an application for which high performance computing is increasingly becoming a critical technology. Advances in image-guided surgery techniques have made it possible to acquire images of a patient whilst the surgery is taking place, to align these images with high resolution 3D scans of the patient acquired preoperatively and to merge intraoperative images from multiple imaging modalities. The application of these technologies has now become a routine clinical procedure in some hospitals. However, as the type of procedures undertaken is expanded, it is becoming clear that the use of image fusion and linear registration technology alone has some limitations.We have developed a novel image segmentation algorithm that makes use of an individualized template of normal patient anatomy in order to compute the segmentation of intraoperative imaging data. Intraoperative image segmentation is highly data and compute intensive. In order to achieve accurate segmentation in a time frame compatible with surgical intervention, we have developed a parallel version of our segmentation algorithm, and implemented the algorithm on a symmetric multiprocessor architecture. We have studied the accuracy of the segmentation algorithm, and the scalability and bandwidth requirements of our parallel implementation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
