k-Plan: From the Hospital to the Cluster and Back

Designed for use with transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) techniques, k-Plan is an advanced modelling tool for the precision planning of TUS procedures. k-Plan uses a streamlined and intuitive workflow that allows users to select an ultrasound device, position the device using a template or medical image, and specify the sonication parameters.

High-resolution calculations of the ultrasound field and temperature inside the skull and brain are then automatically calculated in the cloud or using HPC facilities with a single click. This is performed by k-Dispatch, a tool that provides offloading the executions of computational workflows, their monitoring as well as reporting, accounting and fault tolerance. No knowledge of numerical modelling or high-performance computing is required.
