摘要: We describe a project in the field of computational electrocardiology which requires visualization complex, three-dimensional geometry and electric potential current fields. Starting from magnetic resonance images healthy subject, we constructed multisurfaced model human thorax, used as basis for studies relating distributions measured surface heart to potentials currents throughout volume thorax (a form forward problem electrocardiography). Driven by lack adequate software, developed both interactive batch-mode graphics programs view, manipulate, interactively edit present our results.
