High-Resolution and Wearable Magnetocardiography (MCG) Measurement With Active-Passive Coupling Magnetic Control...

Magnetocardiography (MCG) enables passive detection of weak magnetic fields generated by the heart with high sensitivity, which can offer valuable information for diagnosing and treating heart conditions. Due to the limitations of the geomagnetic field and unknown magnetic interference, the MCG signals are often overwhelmed by high levels of magnetic noise. In this paper, we propose the design of a high-resolution and movable MCG system comprised of an active-passive coupling magnetic control (AP-CMC) system and a wearable multi-channel signal detection array. The system realizes the MCG measurement at the same time as the AP-CMC system eliminates interference in real time, i.e., simultaneous control and simultaneous measurement. Dynamic MCG signal measurements were successfully conducted, obtaining typical characteristic features of MCG signals. Our method shows promise in enhancing the accuracy and expanding the scope of MCG measurement applications, thereby offering valuable insights for the early diagnosis and precise localization of heart diseases.
