%T Memory access synchronization in series expansion methods of parallel image reconstruction %A W. J. Nowinski %E Hussein S. M. Zedan %B OUG\-13: Real\-Time Systems with Transputers %X The paper is concerned with parallel image reconstruction. The background of parallel image reconstruction has been briefly reviewed. Parallel formulations of series expansion methods expressed in occam exploiting projection and ray parallelisms have been presented. Two types of mapping of the projection space onto the image space influencing a simultaneous memory access have been defined. Finally, several ways of synchronizing the activities of processes when accessing the memory have been discussed.
