Imaging characteristics of different multichannel magnetocardiographic systems

Abstract:
In this study a comparison of multichannel magnetocardiographic systems is performed with respect to the "detectable" information content. We investigate the lead-field matrices, the slope of the singular values and the source spaces of three different devices: the VectorView (Neuromag: magnetometer-gradiometer mixed device) of the BioMag Laboratory, Helsinki University Central Hospital (HUCH), the arrangement of electronically coupled magnetometers of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Berlin (PTB) and a virtual sensor geometry which was optimized for an improved slope of the singular values at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Karlsruhe.
