Abstract
A Foucault cardiogram (i.e. magnetic induction cardiogram / eddy currents cardiogram) is determined by a volume integral over the space surrounding the inductor. It depends on the time-variable conductivity distribution in the thorax. Localization of the region-specific contributions into the integral signal can be computed. Thus, the location of the regions where the Foucault cardiogram is originated can be mapped. Using this instrument, the influence of breathing on the origination of the signal has been studied.
