Abstract

The volume conductor inverse problem is the problem of reconstructing a two-dimensional distributed voltage source from measurements of the electric field it produces at the surface of an intervening medium. The intervening medium may be homogeneous or horizontally layered, with differing conductivities in each layer. The problem is assumed to be quasistatic (a “snapshot” in time); this is reasonable for the impedances encountered in biological tissues.
