I use MPI processing as an option in my open-source computed tomography
simulator: CTSim (http://www.ctsim.org). I've tested this application in a
16-CPU beowulf cluster with good results.

I've heard from a physician in Germany that he is using CTSim to remove
artifacts for metallic objects prior to reconstruction. However, I'm not
sure he is using the Beowulf-enabled version of CTSim or the single-CPU
graphical user-interface version.

I look forward to hearing other responses to your query.
