Abstract
At Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe an ultrasound computer tomograph for breast cancer imaging in 3D is under development. The aim of this project is the support of early diagnosis of breast cancer. The process of reconstructing the 20 GB of measurement data into a visual 3D volume is very compute intensive. The reconstruction algorithms are written in Matlab. As a calculation platform we are using grid technologies based on gLite, which provides a powerful computing infrastructure.
This chapter will show the way how we access the grid from within Matlab without the requirement of additional licenses for the grid. It will describe the tools and methods that were integrated. We will conclude with a performance evaluation of the presented system.
