Multi-sensor magneto-monitoring-imaging system

A magnetic monitoring system comprising of:

• a magnetoencephalographic or magnetocardiographic or a body investigational system incorporating super-conducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors for brain activity or function;
• a plurality of Dewar helmets of variable sizes and shapes;
• a vertical Dewar rotation telescopic rod and sleeve;
• a plurality of monitoring interfaces;
• a helium fill chamber;
• a clamp bracket mechanism;
• and
• a multifunctional multi-sensor (MMS) incorporating a three-dimensional sensor system positioning adjustment capability for the plurality of Dewar Helmets for optimal spatial resolution, signal sensitivity, and enhanced multi-modal image co-registration precision;
• wherein the plurality of Dewar helmets is moveable by horizontal Dewar rotation, vertical adjustment or angular tilting,
• wherein the vertical Dewar rotation telescopic rod and sleeve uses the clamp bracket mechanism, and can be fitted to the outside of the helium fill chamber in a manner where an arrangement of cogs and connection rods or chains interacting with the vertical Dewar rotation telescopic rod and sleeve in a manner where a manual wheel adjustment or automatic computer controlled motor servo adjustment can horizontally rotate the Dewar helmets to a desired position across a 360 degree range of rotational positions is used, and
• wherein the vertical Dewar rotation telescopic rod and sleeve incorporates a flexible joint, an upper arm above the flexible joint, a lower arm below the flexible joint, an upper arm inner core, and an upper arm outer sleeve, whereby the rod and sleeve arrangement resides in the upper arm above the flexible joint, such that the lower joint arm below the flexible joint can be rotated with respect to the upper arm across a range from 0 degrees to plus or minus about 90 degrees, via a series of manual or automatically driven cogs and/or drive chains or belts to a rotational position required
• whereby the upper joint arm's inner core or the upper joint arm's adjustable outer sleeve is interconnected to the lower joint arm via a screw threaded bar, such that an upper threaded screw of the screw threaded bar can be screwed clock-wise or anti-clockwise to lift or lower the lower joint arm with respect to the upper arm in order to change an angle of the Dewar helmets,
• wherein the three-dimensional sensor system is positioned automatically,
• wherein the MMS incorporates multiple sensor-systems enabling a plurality of different head sizes and shapes to be accommodated,
• wherein the MMS incorporates the capability for vertical angular tilt adjustment of helmet or other sensor interface to accommodate a range of subject positions, and
• wherein the MMS incorporates 3-D Dewar spatial parametric adjustment positioning capability enabling any combination of tilt, horizontal rotation and vertical height adjustment.
