abstract = {The magnetic field induced by a current dipole situated in
a realistic volume conductor cannot be computed exactly.
Here, we derive approximate analytical solutions based on
the fact that in magnetoencephalography the deviation of the
volume conductor (i.e., the head) from a spherical
approximation is small. We present an explicit integral form
which allows to calculate the nth order Taylor expansion of
the magnetic field with respect to this deviation from the
corresponding solution of the electric problem of order n-1.
Especially, for a first order solution of the magnetic
problem only the well-known electric solution for a
spherical volume conductor is needed. The evaluation of this
integral by a series of spherical harmonics results in a
fast algorithm for the computation of the external magnetic
field which is an excellent approximation of the true field
for smooth volume conductor deformations of realistic
magnitude. Since the approximation of the magnetic field is
exactly curl-free it is equally good for all components. We
estimate the performance for a realistic magnitude of
deformations by comparing the results to the exact solution
for a prolate spheroid. We found a relevant improvement over
corresponding solutions given by the boundary element method
for superficial sources while the performance is in the same
order for deep sources. (C) 2001 American Institute of
