k-Plan MATLAB tools

Overview

MATLAB toolbox for working with the input and output files used by the k-Plan treatment planning software. This toolbox assumes familiarity with the k-Plan software and terminology.

⚠️ This repository is still under development. Breaking changes may occur!

Setup

Download and add the root folder of this toolbox to the MATLAB path. The tools must be used on the same computer on which k-Plan is installed.

Subject and Plan IDs

Datasets from the k-Plan results file can be loaded into MATLAB using the subject and plan IDs, and the sonication number from k-Plan. The subject and plan IDs are shown in the "Add Images" tab next to "k-Dispatch ID". The first number is the subjectID, and the second number is the planID. The sonication number is the number shown on the left hand side of the sonication table in the "Planning" tab.

Load a simulated dataset

The simulated pressure and temperature fields can be loaded using:

[data, gridSpacing] = kplan.loadResults(subjectID, planID, sonicationNum, datasetName);

For example, to load the pressure from subject 1, plan 2, sonication 3, call:

[data, gridSpacing] = kplan.loadResults(1, 2, 3, kplan.SimulatedDatasets.PressureAmplitude);

To load the position of the simulation domain in k-Plan world coordinates, call:

gridSettings = kplan.loadGridSettings(subjectID, planID)

For further details type:

help kplan.loadResults

Load element amplitudes and phases

The driving amplitude and phase for the transducer used for the forward planning simulation can be loaded using:

[amp, phase] = kplan.loadElementAmpPhase(subjectID, planID, sonicationNumber)
