Kesaco is a set of libraries and programs aiming at applications of mathematical modeling in clinical oncology. It features:
A library of specialized mathematical model describing the growth of different types of cancers (secondary tumors in the lung, gliomas).
A set of programs useful to validate mathematical models (compute the various behavior they can produce) and to build databases of numerical simulations.
Segmentation and registration routines to use medical images directly in our numerical codes.
Calibration methods to recover the parameters of the models using sequences of medical images. Three techniques are implemented (a genetic algorithm, a technique based on reduced order models, a sensitivity technique).
All these routines are adapted to run on a MP architecture. The webpage may be found at http://www.math.u-bordeaux1.fr/~osaut/pages/kesaco.html .
OS/Middelware: Platform developped on Mac OS X architecture.
Required library or software: eLYSe, Insight Toolkit (http://www.itk.org )
