Magnetocardiography


Non-invasive diagnostic methods that are sensitive but also specific enough to identify subjects with very early stages of heart disease would be an important addition to the technologies currently available. Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a very sensitive method for detecting cardiac bioelectrical activity non-invasively by an array of super-sensitive magnetic field sensors (superconductor sensors). It is one of the most promising applications of superconducting technology, although its clinical use have been somewhat limited, partly due to the lack of reliable hardware and inconclusive data interpretation, and partly due to the absence of clinically validated analysis procedures.
