First reported test of a dual-channel scalar field OPMs (geometrics MFAM) arranged as a first-order gradiometer (baseline 5 cm) in the Catholic University Hospital's unshielded BACPIC: (A) Preliminary phantom measurement of a 1 mA current dipole generated by the amagnetic catheter. (B) Comparison between MCG recording and CMI 36-channel MCG mapping (R-wave MF distribution). The similarity of MCG waveforms recorded with the MFAM (B1) and with the SQUID (B2) at the same grid position (white circle onto the MF map) is evident. The amplitude of the MCG signal recorded with the MFAM is higher because the OPMs can be placed closer to the chest. (C) Noise spectra of each MFAM and of the first-order gradiometer.
