A low profile magnetoresistive imaging sensor array based on the principle of magnetic induction, which reduces a distance between a medium imaging sensor array and a medium by optimizing the arrangement of an application integrated circuit and a sensing element array and using an electric connection technology which can reduce the distance between the medium imaging sensor array and the medium, thereby increasing the resolution of the existing medium imaging sensor. The low profile magnetoresistive imaging sensor array includes a sensing element array and an application integrated circuit, and also includes a circuit which provides a power for the sensing element array, a magnetoresistive sensing element array selection circuit, a signal amplification circuit, a digitizer, a memory circuit, and a microprocessor. Additionally, the sensing element array includes at least one magnetoresistive sensing element.
