A clinical system for accurate assessment of tissue iron concentration

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

This paper describes a new computer-enhanced dual-channel SQUID susceptometer designed to achieve accuratein vivo estimates of tissue storage iron concentrations. We discuss the practical design considerations, instrumental noise performance and anticipated clinical resolution of the new system.

Riassunto

Questo lavoro descrive un nuovo suscettometro SQUID a doppio canale coadiuvato da computer destinato a raggiungere stime accuratein vivo delle concentrazioni di accumulo di ferro nei tessuti. Si discutono le considerazioni pratiche dello schema, la funzionalità sperimentale al rumore e la risoluzione clinica anticipata del nuovo sistema.
