  • Objectives : Human physiological changes in the state of qigong has been measured using EEG(Electroencephalography), functional MRI(functional Magnetic Resonance Image), EAV(Electro-Acupuncture according to Voll) and SQUID(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) measurements. Methods & Results : EEGs were measured to study the differences between Qigong masters and Qi receiver on the changes of EEG. During Qigong, an alpha waves were increased. The power spectra indicate that the peak frequency of alpha waves increased during Qigong. Qi receiver's EEG signals seemed to affected by the state of himself. Brain activation did not observed when qigong master concentrates the Qi at Laogong(P8). But a localization of fMRI signal in the sensory cortex was observed by electric acupuncture stimulation at Laogong(P8). Five phase deviation of EAV were clearly changed in the both cases of Qigong master and Qi receiver. When a Qigong master concentrates the Qi at Yintang, Laogong(P8), Qihai(CV6) meridian points during Qigong state, the change of magnetic field around acupoints Yintang, Laogong points has been measured using 40-Channel DROS-SQUID apparatus. After smoothing process of the continuously measured magnetic signal around acupoints for a few minutes, we could observe that a series of peaks, magnitude of -1.0~2.5pT appeared. But there was no significant difference in changes of magnetic signal around acupoints. Physical signals of magnetocardiogram has been measured by using 2-Channel DROS SQUID(Magnetocardiogram). Physical signals of magnetocardiogram were clealy changed at the ST segments after S-wave when qigong master concentrates the Qi.

  • 심자도 신호로부터 전류원의 분포를 복원하는 알고리듬을 구성하고 이를 WPW 증후군 환자에 대해 적용하여 임상적 유용성을 검토하였다. 40 채널 superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) 미분계를 이용하여 심자도를 측정하고 minimum norm estimation (MNE) 알고리듬과 truncated singular value decomposition (SVD)을 적용하여 2 차원 평면에서의 전류원 분포를 구하였으며. 전류원의 분포가 실제 전류원의 정보를 잘 반영하고 있음을 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다. 또한 좌심방과 좌심실 사이에 부전도로를 가진 WPW 증후군 환자의 심자도를 측정하여 수술 전후의 전류원 분포를 비교한 결과 수술 전에는 부전도로를 통한 비정상전류의 흐름을 볼 수 있었으나 부전도로를 절제한 후에는 더 이상 볼 수 없었다. 이 결과는 심자도 선호로부터 구한 전류원 분포가 심장의 전기 활동을 잘 반영하고 있으며 임상적으로 유용하게 활용 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • A 64-channel magnetocardiogram (MCG) system using low-noise superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) planar gradiometers was developed for the measurements of cardiac magnetic fields generated by the heart electric activity. Owing to high flux-to-voltage transfers of double relaxation oscillation SQUID (DROS) sensors, the flux-locked loop electronics for SQUID operation could be made simpler than that of conventional DC SQUIDs, and the SQUID control was done automatically through a fiber-optic cable. The pickup coils are first-order planar gradiometers with a baseline of 4 em. The insert has 64 planar gradiometers as the sensing channels and were arranged to measure MCG field components tangential to the chest surface. When the 64-channel insert was in operation everyday, the average boil-off rate of the dewar was 3.6 Lid. The noise spectrum of the SQUID planar gradiometer system was about 5 fT$_{rms}$/$\checkmark$Hz at 100 Hz, operated inside a moderately shielded room. The MCG measurements were done at a sampling rate of 500 Hz or 1 kHz, and realtime display of MCG traces and heart rate were displayed. After the acquisition, magnetic field mapping and current mapping could be done. From the magnetic and current information, parameters for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia were evaluated to be compared with other diagnostic methods.

  • The aim of this study is to confirm clinical usefulness of magnetocardiogram (MCG) by analyzing MCG data of health subjects and patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Measurement of MCG signals was done with a home-made 40-channel SQUID system. MCG signals of 30 healthy subjects were measured as the reference of MCG signals. Among the DCM patients, 7 patients showed abnormal the direction of T wave vector. For a WPW syndrome patient, we measured the MCG signals before and after the surgery. and compared the difference. From the measured magnetic field distribution, current vector map was obtained to show the myocardium current activity. By comparing the MCG signals and current maps, we showed the differences in the analysis results between the healthy subjects and patients with heart diseases.
