Abstract:
Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensor module and a magnetoencephalography (MEG) measuring apparatus. The SQUID sensor module includes a fixed block having one end fixed to the sensor-mounted helmet, a bobbin having one end combined with the other end of the fixed block and having a groove in which a pick-up coil is wound, a bobbin fixing or attachment structure or material fixed to the other end of the fixed block via a through-hole formed in the center of the bobbin, a SQUID printed circuit board (PCB) disposed one an upper side surface of the bobbin and including a SQUID sensor, and a signal line connection PCB inserted into an outer circumferential surface of the fixed block and adapted to transmit a signal detected in the SQUID sensor to an external circuit.
Abstract:
Provided are ultra-low-field nuclear-magnetic-resonance myocardial electrical activity detection method and an ultra-low-field nuclear-magnetic-resonance device. The ultra-low-field nuclear-magnetic-resonance device includes magnetic shielding room; a high-sensitivity magnetic field sensor disposed adjacent to a measurement target disposed inside the magnetic shielding room; and a bias magnetic field generating coil for providing an external measurement bias magnetic field, corresponding to a proton magnetic resonance frequency (nuclear magnetic resonance frequency) corresponding to a frequency of periodic myocardial activity of a lesion desired to be measured, to the measurement target. The high-sensitivity magnetic field sensor measures a magnetic resonance signal generated from the measurement target.
Abstract:
Provided are a low-temperature cooling apparatus and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensor module. The low-temperature cooling apparatus includes an outer container; an inner container disposed inside the outer container, the inner container including a neck portion having a first diameter and a body portion having a second diameter greater than the first diameter; an insert inserted into the neck portion of the inner container; and a plurality of SQUID sensor modules inserted into the body portion of the inner container. Each of the SQUID sensor modules is in the form of a fan-shaped pillar and is fixedly coupled with an inner bottom plate of the inner container.
Abstract:
A method for mapping of myocardial electric activity includes measuring electrocardiogram data or magnetocardiogram data and mapping the degree of electric activity of a myocardial surface using the electrocardiogram data or the magnetocardiogram data. A signal source of the electrocardiogram data or the magnetocardiogram data is a myocardial surface potential that is scalar quantity. The mapping uses a lead-field vector which represents the sensitivity between the myocardial surface potential and the electrocardiogram or magnetocardiogram data, and a modified lead-field vector which combines a constraint matrix with a constraint condition where no potential sources exist in a specific region.
