Room Temperature Magnetoelectric Sensor Arrays For Application of Detecting Iron Profiles in Organs.

ABSTRACT: Noninvasive measurement of liver iron concentration (LIC) is clinically important. Yet, at the present time, it can only be achieved with SQUID technology. However, SQUID based BLS suffers high costs and cumbersome cryogenic requirements that prevent SQUID BLS from being adopted by clinical applications. Recently, we demonstrated that a single channel ME sensor with piezo-single crystals could detect LIC from only 3cc of mouse liver tissue without any magnetic field shielding. The results demonstrated not only the sensitivity of ME sensor system for LIC but also the feasibility for mapping LIC profiles spatially. This investigation further developed ME sensor arrays, exploiting the compact size and room temperature operation. A Dual-Channel 1-D ME sensor array along the vertical, Z-directi
