Magnetic Field Imaging (MFI) is a non-invasive and side-effect-free cardiac diagnostic method. In more recent technology, magnetocardiography (MCG) has become the clinically predominant application for recording the heart's magnetic signals. that detects and records the electromagnetic signals that are associated with the heartbeat using a multi-channel magnetic sensor array. The electric signals are known from the ECG. In the 1990s and beyond, more recent technology has supplanted the MFI, particularly MCG (xref. Cardiomag Imaging, Inc.). Through clinical research in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. (see publications in footnotes), MCG has been proven to have practical application for diagnosis of cardiac disease, and has become the clinically predominant application for recording the heart's magnetic signals. In comparison to MCG, MFI, among others, records the whole relevant area above the chest of the person.

Fault isolation of circuit defects using comparative magnetic field imaging

Circuit flaws in microelectronic circuitry present regions of high resistance in which a current distribution deviates from that of a defect-free circuit. The altered current distribution emits a correspondingly altered magnetic field in accordance with Ampere's Law. When compared with the magnetic field of a defect-free circuit, the anomaly in the magnetic field of the defective device is detected and the location of the circuit flaw may be determined therefrom. As the anomaly in the magnetic field is very small in magnitude, a sensitive magnetic microscope is utilized to obtain images of the magnetic fields of a defect-free reference device and a device-under-test. The distance between the magnetic sensor and the devices being scanned is precisely controlled to minimize influences of scanning distance on the difference in measured magnetic field strength. Comparative image analysis reveals the location of the circuit flaw. Maximal image registration through image interpolation, displacement and resampling optimizes the comparative image analysis.
