Modelling of an Oesophageal Electrode for Cardiac Function Tomography

Figure 1

Cylindrical model of the thorax with electrode number 16 located in the middle of the cylinder as an esophageal electrode and surrounded by compound cylindrical models of the left and right lungs. The other 15 electrodes are connected on the external surface of the cylinder. The perturbation with the conductivity of the blood is located 0.5 units from the center of the cylinder.
