Grid computing on radiology network

A grid computing system comprising:

• a software infrastructure;
• an imaging device capable of interfacing with said software infrastructure over a distributed electronic network and providing a medical dataset comprising an unprocessed medical image;
• and
• a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) of a plurality of computing nodes capable of interfacing with said software infrastructure over the network, performance of said plurality of CPUs of a plurality of computing nodes being dependent on balancing a processing load for the medical dataset,
• wherein the medical dataset is split onto said plurality of CPUs of a plurality of computing nodes, respectively, such that obtained acceleration ratios are equal to a number of the plurality of computing nodes, and each of said plurality of CPUs of a plurality of computing nodes performs reconstruction on the received dataset and returns the processed dataset over the software infrastructure network to the imaging device where the split dataset is recombined and displayed.
