12. 7- and 9-channel MCG-systems of the series «MAG-SCAN» operate at clinical conditions without any additional magnetic shielding. MCG-systems of the family “MAG-SCAN”

13. Registration of MCG-signals The 9 measuring SQUID channels are arranged in a “rectangular” (3×3) nodes configuration. Each of the four 9-channel measurements takes about a minute, averaging about 60 cycles. An area of 20 × 20 cm2 over the patient’s chest is covered. A patient is moved from one position to the other on a movable bed under the stationary dewar with sensors. The magnetic field signal waveform and amplitude (the green traces) are seen to differ for different measuring positions, with the strongest signal for positions closer to the heart.

15. First testing of MCG systems of series “MAG-SCAN” in several hospitals demonstrated the following: 1) Reliable MCG systems operating in an unshielded environment are available for real clinical use now; 2) MCG systems “MAG-SCAN” include the package of special software for evaluation of the set of MCG parameters with an additional information about electrical phenomenon in human myocardium; 3) Primary classification of obtained results indicated the difference of evaluated parameters (such as maps of the magnetic field distribution, coordinates of the dipole source, characteristics of the vector of the maximal current density at the given moment of time) for subjects with cardiac pathologies and healthy subjects.

16. The electroconductivity of biological tissues is sensitive indicator of their physiological condition. In particular, malignant growths, inflammations, edemata are accompanied by significant increase of electroconductivity. The electroimpedance tomograph provides nonivasive imaging of electroconductivity distribution in the cross-section of a body, defined by the position of belt with electrodes. The weak variable electric current is used for sounding. Use of all electrodes by turns as active (current) and passive (potential) allows to receive a data set, sufficient for the decision of an inverse problem and reconstruction of the image.
