In the latest years superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) biomagnetometry has been demonstrated as a useful tool in investigating the hemodynamic of certain vessels by measuring the exceedingly weak magnetic fields emitted by circulating blood cells (10-8 of the earth's magnetic field). The high concentration of blood cells in the examined region gives high biomagnetic activity (BA). This method has been effectively used in our lab for the investigation of breast , ovary and uterine myomas
