" SIMPLIOFIED WATER-BAG TECHNIQUE FOR MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY MEASUREMENTS ON THE HUMAN BODY AND OTHER SPECIMENS"

Abstract A PROBE INSTRUMENT USING ROOM TEMPERATURE MAGNETIC SENSOR (S) (24) noninvasively measuring variatgions in mag netic susceptibilities with sufficient resolution ot monitor paramagnetic material in a human body, such as iron in liver, tissue response to an alternating current field applioed by an applied field coil(18 26 28) is detected. applied field coil dimensions are chosen for maximum response from the liver whilew minimizing effects from overlying abdomibnal tissue and at rhe same time not unduly increasing isntrument sensitivitry to the lung, to overcome veriations sensor s output due to fluctuations in the applioed field , change in ambient te4mperature and mechanical relaxatioon of the instrument sensor sam;e distance is modulated. detector s assembly (10) is oscillated while rher patient remains sttionary. an improved water bag techniqwue is employed to eliminate background tissue response. the dete4ctor assembly forms part of a pprobe instrumentr for noninvasively detecting the paramagnetic concentration of a patient.
