An improved boundary element method for realistic volume-conductor modeling

Fuchs, M., Drenckhahn, R., Wischmann, H., Wagner, M.·1998·IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering

Abstract

An improved boundary element method (BEM) with a virtual triangle refinement using the vertex normals, an optimized auto solid angle approximation, and a weighted isolated problem approach is presented. The performance of this new approach is compared to analytically solvable spherical shell models and highly refined reference BEM models for tangentially and radially oriented dipoles at different eccentricities. The lead fields of several electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) setups are analyzed by singular-value decompositions for realistically shaped volume-conductor models. Dipole mislocalizations due to simplified volume-conductor models are investigated for EEG and MEG examinations for points on a three dimensional (3-D) grid with 10-mm spacing inside the conductor and all principal dipole orientations. The applicability of the BEM in view of the computational effort is tested with a standard workstation. Finally, an application of the new method to epileptic spike data is studied and the results are compared to the spherical-shells approximation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
