Abstract
We describe an imaging modality whose goal is the display and interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart via measurements of electrical potentials made either through invasive procedures or non-invasively on the body surface. The goal of this imaging process is not to reconstruct anatomical geometry, but rather to display, analyze, and understand the normal and abnormal electrical activity of the heart in order to apply this knowledge to the diagnosis and monitoring of patients
