Noninvasive imaging of electrical activity of the heart has increasingly gained attention over the last decades. Epicardial potentials can be reconstructed from a torso-heart geometry and body-surface potentials recorded from tens to hundreds of body-surface electrodes. However, it remains an open question how many body-surface electrodes are needed to accurately reconstruct epicardial potentials. We investigated the influence of the number of body-surface electrodes in an in vivo experiment. Find the paper here, and don’t hesitate to contact us with your ideas and suggestions!
