IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, VOL. 41, NO. 8, AUGUST 1994 123 A Theoretical Model for Magneto-Acoustic Imaging of Bioelectric Currents Bradley J. Roth, Peter J. Basser, and John P. Wikswo, Jr. Abstruct- A theoretical model of magneto-acoustic current magneto-acoustic imaging is 10 to 100 mT [l], implying that imaging is derived, based on fundamental equations of continuum the endogenous and applied magnetic field strengths differ mechanics and electromagnetism. In electrically active tissue, the by a factor of at least lo8. 2) The bioelectric current is not interaction between an applied magnetic field, B, and action currents, J , creates a pressure distribution. In the near field affected by the applied magnetic field. The Lorentz force is limit, this pressure obeys Poisson’s equation, with a source term small compared to the electrical force producing the action (G x J ) .B. The displacement and pressure fields are calculated currents; a steady magnetic field of 24 T is required to produce for a dipole (q), oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the a 10% change in the action currents [7]. Magneto-acoustic applied magnetic field (B),at the center of an elastic, conducting imaging uses field strengths of about 100 mT, so perturbations sphere (radius a, shear modulus G). Surface displacements are on the order of qB/(4rGa), which is about 1 nm for typical of action current distributions by the applied magnetic field biological parameters. If
