The inverse problem is one of the most important problems in medical applications because most of the medical diagnosis can be reduced to solving the inverse problems. It is well known that any neural activity in the biological systems accompanies the electric charge movements, and this leads to a magnetic field distribution on the surface of a biological body. Particularly, the magnetic field distribution measured over a heart surface is called the magnetocardiodiagram (MCG). Depending on the heart operating conditions, the MCG exhibits the Distinct patterns so that the MCG analysis is intensively studied for the heart diagnosis. Furthermore, the relationship between the operation and activation current flows in the human heart has been measured and confirmed by a group of anatomists. This paper demonstrates that the defect of a heart, not detected by the electrocardiodiagram, can be found by the MCG analysis.
