Computer model of an inhomogeneous human torso.
Based on the atlas of sectional human anatomy, a three dimensional computer model of a human torso, including four cavities of the heart (LV, RV, LA, RA), two lobes of the lung and the body surface, and a three dimensional model of the myocardium is introduced. The torso model, with more than 10,000 surface triangles, depicts the structures and appropriate proportions of the internal organs, especially of the heart. Algorithms for the model construction are given in detail and the validity of the models for the purpose of simulation research into the electrocardiogram is discussed.
