Overview of the need for accurate estimates in high performance medical imaging. Complex multi-stage imaging layouts need to provide accurate estimations of their resource requirements in order to leverage high performance computing resources. The upper-right inlay shows histograms of the runtime for a single software module (“File Collection Efficient Registration”) on datasets acquired on 21 individuals
