Noninvasive detection of magnetic particles in biological objects

Abstract

The possibility of noninvasive detection of magnetic particles in biological objects has been investigated. It has been found that magnetic particles, including magnetite, hematite, and catalytic iron particles in carbon nanotubes, can be detected by ultrasensitive magnetic field sensors with resolutions of 10−8-10−14 T. This research direction is shown to be promising for noninvasive monitoring of organs, implants, prosthesis, and other elements of biological systems.
