Abstract :
The ability to visualize finite element solutions of voltage, voltage gradient, and current density in the thorax is important for researching defibrillation efficacy. The authors describe a set of tools that allow these quantities to be visualized in an anatomical context, and provide timing benchmarks for various operations on two workstation platforms
