Kesaco
Participant : Olivier Saut.
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 )
