Moving dipole inverse solutions using realistic torso models.

A noniterative numerical solution for the potentials on the surfaces of a piecewise homogeneous volume conductor due to a current dipole is described. This forward solution has been used in electric and magnetic single moving dipole (SMD) inverse solutions that employ a torso volume conductor model whose boundaries are specified numerically. Thus, the volume conductor model used by the inverse solutions need not be limited to simple geometric shapes; torso models of realistic shape can be used.
