Abstract
In this project the eqivalent current dipole model in heart together with different models of torso as volume conductor are used in solving the inverse problem in magnetocardiography with special emphasis on the determination of space coordinates of the beginning of accessory pathway in the case of WPW patients. Several patients who underewent the MCG measurement protocols in Berlin were analysed in Ljubljana.The evaluation method of localization of equivalent current dipole in heart is prepared.
The parallel running research on Stirling cryocoolers should lead to the improved version of this cryocooler and/or to similar cryocooler (pulse tube cryocooler). These cryocoolers should be able in the near future to cool SQUID sensors build of high tempearture superconductors and used for the measuring devices necessary to complete the measurements
mentioned in the first part of project.
