Fast
spectroscopic imaging such as spiral CSI can be used for applications such as
real time metabolite imaging or real time temperature mapping. While methods
to reduce the data acquisition time have been continuously developed,
reconstruction times have been prolonged. We demonstrate the usage of
parallel computing to reduce the reconstruction time of spiral CSI. By using
a multi-threading approach, reconstruction times during the gridding routine can
be shortened to by a factor of eight.
