Abstract:
The paper deals with the bioelectric and biomagnetic inverse problems. The authors present a method to estimate primary-current distributions in a homogeneous, realistically shaped boundary-element torso model. The reconstruction surface is triangulated to keep the procedure computationally feasible. The minimum-norm estimate is computed on the basis of separate electric and magnetic signals, as well as from combined data. The method can be used both for heart and brain studies. Simulation results for current-dipole sources in a homogeneous realistic torso are discussed.
