In this paper we derive exemplarily a parallel processor array for algorithms of commonly used tomographic reconstruction methods by using the tools of the design system DESA. The algorithms represent a group of computationally intensive image processing algorithms requiring high throughput and real-time processing.The design process is characterized by the consideration of hardware constraints and performance criteria. In particular, we determine one common parallel processor array for two different reconstruction techniques. Finally, the array is adapted to hardware constraints given by the target architecture which can be an application specific integrated circuit or a system of parallel digital signal processors.
