APPLICATIONS OF SQUID
MAGNETOENCEPHALOGRAPHY (MEG)
Measures the magnetic fields produced in the brain by ionic
current flow arising from neural activity.
MAGNETOCARDIOGRAPH (MCG)
Used for heart monitoring.
Brain imaging
Storage of iron the liver
Particles in lungs

room (MSR).
FUTURE SCOPE
A new program to image cancer and tumors with SQUID
sensor arrays and super paramagnetic nano particles is
currently under development.
Biomagnetism also have a good diagnostic value.
CONCLUSION
Bio magnetism is a boon for medicine.
It is the science where specifically designed magnets and
their magnetic fields are used to study the living system.
