description The approach of using more than one processor to compute in order to overcome the complexity of different medical imaging methods that make up an overall job is known as GPU (graphic processing unit)-based parallel processing. It is extremely important for several medical imaging techniques such as image classification, object detection, image segmentation, registration, and content-based image retrieval, since the GPU-based parallel processing approach allows for time-efficient computation by a software, allowing multiple computations to be completed at once. On the other hand, a non-invasive imaging technology that may depict the shape of an anatomy and the biological advancements of the human body is known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Implementing GPU-based parallel processing approaches in brain MRI analysis with medical imaging techniques might be helpful in achieving immediate and timely image capture. Therefore, this extended review (the extension of the IWBBIO2023 conference paper) offers a thorough overview of the literature with an emphasis on the expanding use of GPU-based parallel processing methods for the medical analysis of brain MRIs with the imaging techniques mentioned above, given the need for quicker computation to acquire early and real-time feedback in medicine. Between 2019 and 2023, we examined the articles in the literature matrix that include the tasks, techniques, MRI sequences, and processing results. As a result, the methods discussed in this review demonstrate the advancements achieved until now in minimizing computing runtime as well as the obstacles and problems still to be solved in the future.
