    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Traditional electrocardiography (ECG) and 2D contour maps offer limited spatial resolution for complex cardiac electrical phenomena.
    • Understanding the propagation of depolarization waves across the body surface is crucial for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel system for displaying human body surface potentials in a 3-dimensional format.
    • To improve the visualization and interpretation of cardiac electrical activity compared to existing 2D methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a wire-frame torso model using geometrical data from cross-sectional slices.
    • Measurement of body surface potentials and generation of isopotential lines.
    • Mapping isopotential line coordinates to 3D torso arrays for visualization of the depolarization wave.

    Main Results:

    • Successful 3D display of the depolarization wave across the body surface.
    • Clear visualization of deviations from normal electrical pathways in clinical cases (right bundle branch block, left ventricular premature beat).
    • Demonstrated superior realism and spatial resolution compared to standard ECG and 2D contour mapping.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 3D system provides enhanced understanding and interpretation of cardiac electrical phenomena.
    • This visualization technique offers significant advantages for diagnosing cardiac conditions and presenting experimental results.
