Biomagnetic measurement apparatus, biological information measurement apparatus, and biomagnetic measurement method

A biomagnetic measurement apparatus configured to detect a biomagnetic field and capture a radiation image of a detection target region of a subject, comprises:

• a table on which a subject is placed;
• a biomagnetic detector configured to detect, a biomagnetic field of the subject;
• a supporter attached to the table and configured to support a detection target region from which the biomagnetic field of the subject is detected;
• a radiation detector holder configured to detachably hold a radiation detector and provided below the supporter;
• and
• a position changer configured to change relative positions of the biomagnetic detector and the detection target region,
• wherein the supporter has a surface shape that corresponds to a surface of the biomagnetic detector so as to contact with the biomagnetic detector in a position that the biomagnetic detector is in a closest position to the detection target region while the radiation detector is detached from the radiation detector holder, and
• wherein the biomagnetic detector and the radiation detector are configured to perform the detecting of the biomagnetic field and the capturing of the radiation image upon moving the subject to different positions respectively corresponding to the detecting of the biomagnetic field and the capturing of the radiation image, while maintaining a posture of the subject.

A biological information measurement apparatus comprising:

• a table on which a subject is placed;
• a first biological information detector configured to detect first biological information of the subject;
• a supporter attached to the table and configured to support a detection target region from which the first biological information of the subject is detected;
• a second biological information detector holder configured to detachably hold a second biological information detector configured to detect second biological information of the subject that is different from the first biological information, the second biological information detector being provided below the, supporter;
• and
• a position changer configured to change relative positions of the first biological information detector and the detection target region, wherein the supporter has a surface shape that corresponds to a surface of the first biological information detector so as to contact with the first biomagnetic detector in a position that the biomagnetic detector is in a closest position to the detection target region while the radiation detector is detached from the radiation detector holder.

A biomagnetic measurement method comprising:

• placing a detection target region of a subject on a table so that the detection target region faces a supporter attached to the table;
• capturing a radiation image of a detection target region of the subject, by using a radiation detector;
• detecting a biomagnetic field of the detection target region, by using a biomagnetic detector;
• and
• changing relative positions of the biomagnetic detector and the detection target region, while maintaining a posture of the subject so that the detection target region faces the supporter, between the capturing of the radiation image and the detecting of the biomagnetic field, the supporter having a surface shape that corresponds to a surface of a biomagnetic detector so as to contact with the biomagnetic detector in a position that the biomagnetic detector is in a closest position to the detection target region while the radiation detector is detached from the radiation detector holder.
