FAST is an open-source framework with the main goal of making it easier to do high-performance processing, neural network inference, and visualization of medical images utilizing multi-core CPUs and GPUs. To achieve this, FAST use modern C++, OpenCL and OpenGL, and neural network inference libraries such as TensorRT, OpenVINO, TensorFlow and ONNX Runtime.

* **Fast concurrent visualization** – Rendering and computation are done in separate threads to ensure smooth responsive visualizations. Several types of visualizations are supported both 3D (mesh, point, line, image slice and volume rendering) and 2D (2D image, image slice and segmentation/label rendering, whole slide image (WSI) pyramids).
* **Interoperability** – FAST can be used with Python and can also be easily integrated into existing Qt applications.
