Biomagnetic measurements with a third order gradiometer

  • Condensed Matter
  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica

Abstract

A short introduction about biomagnetism and associated instrumentation is given in the first part of the paper. The application of SQUIDs and superconducting gradiometers in clinical biomagnetic instruments is reviewed in some detail. The construction and adjustment of a third order gradiometer is described later and a magnetocardiogram is displayed to demonstrate the capability of the instrument.
