This paper addresses the question of optimal sensor placement for magnetocardiographic field imaging. New magnetic sensor technologies allow less restrictive sensor positioning in this application. We develop a constraint framework for sensor positioning and use tabu search (TS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) for finding an optimal set of sensors, whereby a new PSO algorithm is designed to fit the needs of our constraint framework. Numerical simulations are carried out with a three compartment boundary element torso model and a multi-dipole heart model. We find an optimal value of about 20 to 30 vectorial sensors and both TS and PSO yield similar sensor distributions. The comparison to sensors on regular grids shows that optimization of vectorial magnetic sensor setups may significantly improve reconstruction quality and that the number of sensors can be reduced.

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of optimal sensor placement for magnetocardiographic field imaging. New magnetic sensor technologies allow less restrictive sensor positioning in this application. We develop a constraint framework for sensor positioning and use tabu search (TS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) for finding an optimal set of sensors, whereby a new PSO algorithm is designed to fit the needs of our constraint framework. Numerical simulations are carried out with a three compartment boundary element torso model and a multi-dipole heart model. We find an optimal value of about 20 to 30 vectorial sensors and both TS and PSO yield similar sensor distributions. The comparison to sensors on regular grids shows that optimization of vectorial magnetic sensor setups may significantly improve reconstruction quality and that the number of sensors can be reduced.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
