Results and Conclusions
This work shows one way to simulate the electrical excitation propagation
and to calculate the electrical source distribution within the heart of
the Visible Man dataset. Figure
3 and Figure 4
show the transmembrane potential distribution resulting from the simulation.
The following ECG (Figure
5 Einthoven I) results from a calculation of the body surface potentials
solving equation (1) by means of a finite difference solver
[9].
The presented methods may be applied to different datasets for educational
and diagnostic purposes. Future work will focus on pathologies and the
impact of motion of the heart on the excitation propagation as well as
on the body surface potential maps.
