In the past, such magnetic fields originated from the body were measured using superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) operating at low temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3000Our laboratory has developed the world&#8217;s most sensitive thin-film magnetic sensor operating at room temperature (Fig. 2). Figure 3 shows the signal waveform of the measured magnetic field of the heart. In the future, it is expected that this magnetic field sensor will be used to determine the location of disease in the heart. In addition, this sensor is inexpensive and is expected to be widely used in general hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.tohoku.ac.jp\/biomag.eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/figure_1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1151\" width=\"542\" height=\"120\"\/><figcaption>Figure 1.

With this sensor, our Laboratory has achieved the world&#8217;s highest sensitivity of magnetic field detection (7\u00d710-13 Tesla).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/web.tohoku.ac.jp\/biomag.eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/figure_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.tohoku.ac.jp\/biomag.eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/figure_3.jpg 528w, https:\/\/web.tohoku.ac.jp\/biomag.eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/figure_3-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption>Figure 3. 2D imaging of the weak magnetic field generated by the heart.
