| abstract |
The invention relates to a detection system for detecting magnetic bodies in the human organism, which has at least two sensor assemblies, wherein each sensor assembly has one, two or three anisotropic magnetic resistance sensors, of which the weak magnetization axes point in directions that are different in pairs, and each sensor assembly has a spacing of 0.5 to 50 cm from the other sensor assembly or assemblies, and at least two sensor assemblies are tilted at an angle of 0 to 45° with respect to one another. The invention further relates to a method for detecting a magnetic flux generated by a magnetic body in the human organism and to the use of the detection system according to the invention for detecting swallowed magnetic bodies and the breakdown thereof in the digestive system. |
