METHOD OF DETECTING PRESENCE OF FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL BODY IN ANIMAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of detecting the presence of a ferromagnetic substance in vivo of a patient. SOLUTION: This method is to detect the presence of an unknown ferromagnetic matter in a patient 16. A magnetometer 18 approaches the patient 16 at a static position to position and then, the animal 16 is moved pertaining the magnetometer 18 to measure a magnetic field with the magnetometer 18 while the patient 16 is moved. Stages are contained for measurement to determine whether the ferromagnetic matter exists in the patient 16 from the magnetic field as measured by the magnetometer 18.
