This second, completely updated and extended edition of the only reference work in this growing field of medical physics focuses on biomagnetic instrumentation as well as applications in cardiology and neurology. New chapters have been added on fetal magnetography and magnetic field therapy, as well as the safety aspects of magnetic fields. Written by well-known specialists from Germany, USA, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands and Scandinavia, the result is a manual for researchers in this field as well as for those who apply modern methods based on magnetism in medical practice. It equally provides a detailed overview for newcomers to the field as well as for experts familiar with only one part of the area.Content: Chapter 1.1 The History of Magnetism in Medicine (pages 1–25): Urs HafeliChapter 1.2 Basic Physical Principles (pages 26–64): Dmitri BerkovChapter 1.3 Creating and Measuring Magnetic Fields (pages 65–75): Prof. Dr. Wilfried Andra and Dr. Hannes NowakChapter 1.4 Safety Aspects of Magnetic Fields (pages 76–95): Jurgen H.
