The improved biomagnetometer system based on SQUID technology was developed for magnetoneurograms, with enhanced sensor array dimensions and modified cryostat design to facilitate examination of peripheral nerves at different body parts in various postures. Functional imaging of the brachial plexuses in symptom-provocative positions was successfully achieved with this improved system.
We developed a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)-based biomagnetometer system for magnetoneurograms. The system was improved from a previously reported prototype magnetospinograph (MSG)/neurograph (MNG) system to satisfy the additional requirements that arose when we investigated practical clinical applications of the MSG/MNG in a hospital. The dimensions of the vector-type SQUID flux sensor array were increased to 150 mm x 188 mm, and the shape of the cryostat was modified so that the peripheral nerves at different body parts of a subject who assumed various postures, including positions provoking neurological symptoms, could be examined. In this paper, the improved MNG system is described in detail. Functional imaging of the brachial plexuses of subjects whose arms were in the abduction and external rotation position, which is one of the typical symptom-provocative positions for the shoulder, was achieved using the improved MNG system.
