planning working group
Purpose: To establish recommendations and guidelines for guidance and planning of focused ultrasound for the purpose of neuromodulation, including acoustic and thermal simulations, calculating exposure and dose parameters, and skull-imaging.
short-term goals
- To complete phase 1 of modelling intercomparison
- To make recommendations for a thermal index relevant for TUS (in collaboration with the Safety focus group)
1 year goals (06/2022)
- To move on to the next phases on modelling intercomparison
- To reach consensus/guidleines for the thermal index
