Introduction: Fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) is considered the best technique for diagnosis of fetal arrhythmia. It is superior to more widely used methods such as fetal, fetal electrocardiography, and cardiotocography for evaluation of fetal rhythm. The combination of fMCG and fetal echocardiography can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of fetal cardiac rhythm and function than is currently possible.

Article Synopsis
  • Magnetically Shielded Rooms (MSRs) are used to block external magnetic fields, crucial for precise measurements in techniques like magnetoencephalography (MEG).
  • Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) enable wearable MEG technology, but they require strict magnetic shielding to function properly.
  • The new lightweight MSR design greatly reduces weight and size, while also introducing a 'window coil' system to optimize shielding, making it more cost-effective and easier to install for broad adoption of OPM-MEG.

Currently several institutes worldwide are working on the development of a new generation of ultracold neutron (UCN) sources. In parallel with source development, new materials for guiding and storage of UCN are developed. Currently the best results have been achieved using (58)Ni, Be, solid O2 and low temperature Fomblin oil (LTF).
