Abstract
Background: In recent years the visualization of biomagnetic measurement data by so-called pseudo current density maps or Hosaka-Cohen (HC) transformations became popular.
Methods: The physical basis of these intuitive maps is clarified by means of analytically solvable problems.
Results: Examples in magnetocardiography, magnetoencephalography and magnetoneurography demonstrate the usefulness of this method.
Conclusion: Hardware realizations of the HC-transformation and some similar transformations are discussed which could advantageously support cross-platform comparability of biomagnetic measurements.
