Description
We are reporting on the development of a SQUID magnetometric method of ferromagnetic dust quantification in the human lungs. In order to solve this problem we utilize a forward method of magnetized ferromagnetic particle (dipole) distribution 3D modeling in human lung torso and in an arc welder's lungs. We also solve the inverse problem, by which the amount of dust in the lungs is estimated using the results of the remanent magnetic induction B r measurement upon the human chest. We state the formula for SQUID measured output voltage U to B r conversion for the second order gradiometer, which is in a highly dipole position and density dependent. We utilize a low-T c second order rf SQUID gradiometer with the sensitivity of 10-14 T in the unit frequency range
