Tóm tắt

In recent years the visualization of biomagnetic measurement data by so-called pseudo current density maps or Hosaka-Cohen (HC) transformations became popular. The physical basis of these intuitive maps is clarified by means of analytically solvable problems. Examples in magnetocardiography, magnetoencephalography and magnetoneurography demonstrate the usefulness of this method. Hardware realizations of the HC-transformation and some similar transformations are discussed which could advantageously support cross-platform comparability of biomagnetic measurements.
