Application of magnetic and electric measuring methods in non-invasive examination of liver and heart

Project of the Slovak Research and Development Agency (APVV) APVV-51-059005

Project duration: 05/2006 – 06/2009

Principal investigator: Ing. Ján Maňka, CSc.

Deputy principal investigator: Doc. Ing. Milan Tyšler, CSc.

Financial support: 4 612 000.- SKK

Aims of the project

Noninvasive methods and devices for specific examination of liver and heart. Research of methods and design of systems for magnetic measurement of iron content in the liver. The contactless method - magnetic biopsy - will be designed. For this purpose a specialized SQUID magnetometric system will be developed. We shall analyze possible new correlations between the diseases (risk states) of the liver and the iron content in it - contribution to prevention of these diseases. Research of electrocardiographic imaging methods for noninvasive identification of local heart injuries. Proposed solutions based on multilead measurements and models of the heart as an electrical generator will be tested on simulated data using electrophysiologic heart models. Multichannel measuring system resistant to local disturbances and enabling exercise ECG measurement will be developed. Results of the research will be experimentally verified on real patients in cooperation with the Slovak Healthcare University.
