INTRODUCTION
 When biological material produces an external magnetic field
this is called bio magnetism.
 Magnetic fields from the body are mostly produced in two
ways:
1. natural ion current in the body
2. contaminating magnetic particles in the body
DIPOLE THEORY AND DETECTION
 Depolarization and depolarisation of cells results in currents
within the human body.
 Dipole theory in bio magnetism:
INSTRUMENTATION
 Super Conductivity Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) is a
magnetometer used to measure extremely weak magnetic field
 SQUID is an assembly of
Josephson junctions within a
superconducting ring.
JOSEPHSON JUNCTION
 The Josephson junction is composed of two
superconductors separated by a thin
insulating layer.
 There are two main types of SQUID
(1) Direct current (DC) –Two Josephson Junction used
(2) Radio Frequency (RF)- One Josephson Junction used
TYPES OF SQUID
RF SQUID

 Uses only one Josephson junction


 The RF SQUID is coupled to a resonant tank circuit
TYPES OF SQUID(Contd..)
DC SQUID
 Uses two Josephson junction
connected in parallel and
shunted with resister
 Phase changes with changing

magnetic field.
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.
