title: Experiment-specific models of ventricular electrical activation: construction and application.
abstract: Experimental intramural recordings of electrical activity at high resolution have been made in the in-vivo pig LV free wall. To analyze features of these recordings experiment-specific 3D computer models of tissue structures and electrical behavior around the recording sites were constructed. The construction of the models used novel tissue image registration, correction and feature extraction methods. Appropriate model conductivity parameters were deduced from measurements and used to replicate features of experimental recordings.
