胎儿心脏磁图为胎儿心脏电生理事件的诊断测量提供了必要的精度。尽管具有显著的优势，但由于维护成本高，该技术与目前基于低温传感器的技术仅限于少数几个中心。在这项研究中，我们展示了一种更便宜的非低温替代方案，光泵磁力仪，当与当前技术进行直接比较时，可以提供类似的电生理和定量特性。进一步的研究可能会增加其在胎儿心脏磁图中的临床应用。(c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.；
Fetal magnetocardiography provides the requisite precision for diagnostic measurement of electrophysiological events in the fetal heart. Despite its significant benefits, this technique with current cryogenic based sensors has been limited to few centers, due to high cost of maintenance. In this study, we show that a less expensive non-cryogenic alternative, optically pumped magnetometers, can provide similar electrophysiological and quantitative characteristics when subjected to direct comparison with the current technology. Further research can potentially increase its clinical use for fetal magnetocardiography. (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
