Ellipsoidal electrogastrographic forward modelling.

چکیده
The theoretical and computational study of the electromagnetic forward and inverse problems in ellipsoidal geometry is important in electrogastrography because the geometry of the human stomach can be well approximated using this idealized body. Moreover, the anisotropies inherent to this organ can be highlighted by the characteristics of the electric potential associated with current dipoles in an ellipsoid. In this paper, we present a forward simulation for the stomach using an analytic expression of the gastric electric potential that employs a truncated expansion of ellipsoidal harmonics; we then demonstrate that an activation front of dipoles propagating along the body of an ellipsoid can simulate gastric electrical activity. In addition to the usefulness of our model, we also discuss its limitations and accuracy.

The helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) frequency-domain exploration method is an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) technique that is widely used for vast and rough areas for resistivity imaging. The vast amount of digitized data flowing from the HEM method requires an efficient and accurate inversion algorithm. Generally, the inverse modelling of HEM data in the first step requires a precise a...

Fetal magnetoencephalography (fMEG) is a non-invasive technique where measurements of the magnetic field outside the maternal abdomen are used to infer the source location and signals of the fetus' neural activity. There are a number of aspects related to fMEG modelling that must be addressed, such as the conductor volume, fetal position and orientation, gestation period, etc. We propose a solu...
متن کاملExtraction and remeshing of ellipsoidal representations from mesh data
Dense 3D polygon meshes are now a pervasive product of various modelling and scanning processes that need to be subsequently processed and structured appropriately for various applications. In this paper we address the restructuring of dense polygon meshes using their segmentation based on a number of ellipsoidal regions. We present a simple segmentation algorithm where connected components of ...
