Boundary Element Numerical Method for Electric Potential Generated by Oblique Five-Needle Electrodes

Abstract:

According to the electric potential of oblique five-needle electrodes (OFNE) in biological tissue, the discrete equations based on the indetermination linear current density were established by the boundary element integral equations (BEIE). The non-uniform distribution of the current flowing from five-needle electrodes to conductive biological tissues was imaged by solving a set of linear equations. Then, the potential generated by OFNE in biological tissues at any point can be determined through the boundary element method (BEM). It means that this method has an important referenced significance for computing the potential generated by OFNE in bio-tissue.
