The inverse problem of electrocardiography is ill-posed. Errors in the model such as signal noise can impact the accuracy of reconstructed cardiac electrical activity. It is currently not known how sensitive the inverse problem is to signal processing techniques. To evaluate this, experimental data from a Langendorff-perfused pig heart (n=1) suspended in a human-shaped torso-tank was used. Different signal processing methods were applied to torso potentials recorded from 128 electrodes embedded in the tank surface. Processing methods were divided into three categories i) high-frequency noise removal ii) baseline drift removal and iii) signal averaging, culminating in n=72 different signal sets. For each signal set, the inverse problem was solved and reconsfructed signals were compared to those directly recorded by the sock around the heart. ECG signal processing methods had a dramatic effect on reconstruction accuracy. In particular, removal of baseline drift significantly impacts the magnitude of reconsfructed electrograms, while the presence of high-frequency noise impacts the activation time derived from these signals (p< 0. 05).

Effect of the Geometric Inaccuracy in Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline-based Inverse ECG Solution Approach Onak, O. N.; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Weber, G. W. (2017-09-27) Spline-based approaches have been applied to inverse problems in several areas. If proper spline bases are chosen, dimension of the problem can be significantly reduced while increasing estimation accuracy and robustness of the inverse procedure. We proposed Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) based methods for the solution of the inverse electrocardiography (ECG) problem considering the temporal and spatial evolution of the epicardial potentials. Our model defines the spline functions in terms ...
Reduction of Effects of Noise on the Inverse Problem of Electrocardiography with Bayesian Estimation Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Svehlikova, J.; Coll-Font, J.; Good, W.; Dubois, R.; Van Dam, E.; Macleod, R.S. (2018-09-01) To overcome the ill-posed nature of the inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECG) and stabilize the solutions, regularization is used. Despite several studies on noise, effect of prefiltering of ECG signals on the regularized inverse solutions has not been explored. We used Bayesian estimation for solving the inverse ECG problem with and without applying various prefiltering methods, and evaluated our results using experimental data that came from a Langendorff-perfused pig heart suspended in a human-sha...
Effect of the Jacobian evalution on direct solutions of the Euler equations Onur, Ömer; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2003) A direct method is developed for solving the 2-D planar/axisymmetric Euler equations. The Euler equations are discretized using a finite-volume method with upwind flux splitting schemes, and the resulting nonlinear system of equations are solved using Newton̕s Method. Both analytical and numerical methods are used for Jacobian calculations. Numerical method has the advantage of keeping the Jacobian consistent with the numerical flux vector without extremely complex or impractical analytical differentiations...
Including sparse noisy epicardial potential measurements into Bayesian inverse electrocardiography Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Macleod, Robert S. (null; 2002-12-01) Imposition of a priori constraints is needed to combat the ill-posedness of the inverse problem of electrocardiography. Solutions to this problem have not yet achieved clinical utility. Extra measurements from catheters inserted into cardiac veins, even though quite sparse, may help increase accuracy and robustness. In this paper, we study various Bayesian methods to incorporate sparse epicardial measurements in solutions to the inverse problem.
Effect of spatial distribution of partial information on the accurate recovery of optical wave fields Öktem, Sevinç Figen (The Optical Society, 2017-01-01) We consider the problem of recovering a signal from partial and redundant information distributed over two fractional Fourier domains. This corresponds to recovering a wave field from two planes perpendicular to the direction of propagation in a quadratic-phase multilens system. The distribution of the known information over the two planes has a significant effect on our ability to accurately recover the field. We observe that distributing the known samples more equally between the two planes, or increasing...
