Sequential recording of the abdominal fetal electrocardiogram and magnetocardiogram.
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the acquisition of both the fetal magnetocardiogram (FMCG) and fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) from the abdomen of the same subject. This contrasts with previous reported studies which have generally recorded one or other of these signals but not the two together. Both signals were successfully recorded and averaged to produce a typical complex, thus allowing their direct comparison.
