k-Wave Toolbox |

## Run the First Example

Regardless of your intended application for the k-Wave Toolbox, the easiest way to get started is to work through the Initial Value Problems examples, in particular the Homogeneous Propagation Medium example. This gives a step-by-step introduction to the way the simulation functions within k-Wave work. Each of the examples comes with an accompanying m-file which can be opened or run from within the help menu. At the top of the help file for each example, links to earlier examples are also given ("It builds on..."). Components of the example that have been discussed in these earlier examples will generally not be explained again in detail.

After working through the Initial Value Problems, further examples are available specific to particular areas of interest, for example Time Varying Source Problems or Photoacoustic Image Reconstruction. Additional details can also be found within the help files for each function. These are listed both by category as well as in alphabetical order. If you are having trouble with a specific example or topic, try reading the Troubleshooting section. You can also find more information on the functions and algorithms used in k-Wave in the Product Overview, Modelling Wave Propagation, and Reference List.
