Application of the Method of Multiple Mutual Synchronization of Parallel Computational Threads in Spectral-Domain Optical Coherent Tomography Systems

Abstract—A method for multiple mutual synchronization of parallel computational threads, which is used in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography systems, is described. Due to the effective distribution of the computational load in the central processor of the control computer, the method made it possible to perform procedures for calculating tomographic slices of the subsurface tissues of a living organism in real time. The application of this method made it possible to realize the principle of multimodal optical coherence tomography and achieve significant results in a number of medical and biological studies.
