Non-shielded magnetocardiograph
Technical field
This utility model belongs to medical instruments field, particularly a kind of superconduction heart weak magnetic signal detecting devices, especially non-shielded magnetocardiograph, is intended to diagnose examination heart disease patient exactly ahead of time.
Background technology
Modern society is rich in expendable and frightening life style, makes heart disease become one of modal disease, and for ease of heart disease early diagnosis, people need one accurate screening diagnostic method fast urgently.Particularly have a very important role and meaning for having for high risk factors person's (suffering from disease and the smokers such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity).Current routine clinical heart disease diagnosis instrument mainly contains electrocardiogram (ECG) and coronarography (CAG).
Electrocardiogram is widely used in clinical as a kind of effective means of diagnosis of heart disease, especially checks irreplaceable status to the diagnosis of coronary heart disease in occupation of other medical technologies.But along with clinical research is goed deep into and Percutantnoeus coronary intervention technical development, find that a lot of disease all can cause ECG Change, there is significant limitation in electrocardiogram, what the electrocardiogram of negative findings fed back to doctor especially completely may be that a kind of illusion, particularly electrocardiogram are insensitive to coronary heart disease early diagnosis.Coronarography enters lower limb femoral artery by the cardiac catheter percutaneous puncture of special sizing, drives in the wrong direction to root of ascending aorta along descending aorta, then seeks left or right coronary ostium and inserts, inject contrast agent, coronary artery is developed.It is that one is safer wound diagnostic techniques reliably, has been widely used in clinical, has been considered to the goldstandard of diagnosis of coronary heart disease.But owing to there being wound to there is certain life danger risk, more difficultly to be accepted widely by people.
Magnetocardiograph (MCG) is low-temperature superconducting quantum interference technology, the contour science and technology crystallization of computer automatic analysis technology, and magnetocardiography detects the change of heart Tangented position, thus can provide multi-faceted, multi-angle cardiac status.Magnetocardiogram technology is the latest developments that non-invasive heart trauma checks field, and the blank between the non-invasive cardiac diagnosis method (as electrocardiogram) of conventional muting sensitivity and invasive diagnosis method (as coronarography) has been filled up in its application.Compared to ecg measurement, superconduction magnetocardiogram has two large advantages: (1) electrocardiogram can only measure AC signal, constant current signal can not be measured, thus can not be applied to the pathology detection only producing direct current aberrant electrical signals, but magnetocardiogram can measure alternation and D.C. magnetic field signal simultaneously; (2) ecg measurement all needs to use the electrode slice with human contact, and electrode slice is done wet degree and all can be affected measurement result with human contact's tightness, and because using electrode slice not leave human body, therefore just 2 dimension spaces are measured, but magnetocardiogram but use can not with human contact's measuring probe, both contactless impact, can leave again human body and carry out 3 dimension space measurements, therefore can obtain measuring more information than 2 dimension spaces.Therefore; magnetocardiography normally or only can have mile abnormality to those Electrocardioscopy; but have the patient of angina pectoris symptom to make to clarify a diagnosis; and degree of ischemia and ishemic part are judged; also T ripple only can be had to change to those electrocardiograms; and make and clarifying a diagnosis (abnormality Q wave is the key character of diagnosing myocardial infarction, easy mistaken diagnosis during Q ripple without exception, fail to pinpoint a disease in diagnosis) without the myocardial infarction patient of Q ripple.
