Abstract

A biological information measuring apparatus includes a biomagnetism detector configured to detect biomagnetism of a subject, the biomagnetism detector including a temperature adjustment mechanism; and a radiation detector configured to acquire emitted radiation as digital image data. The radiation detector is disposed between a measurement region of the subject and the biomagnetism detector.

Claims (15)

1. A biological information measuring apparatus comprising:

a biomagnetism detector configured to detect biomagnetism of a subject, the biomagnetism detector including a temperature adjustment mechanism; and

a flat panel detector configured to acquire emitted radiation as digital image data,

wherein the flat panel detector is disposed between a measurement region of the subject and the biomagnetism detector,

wherein the biomagnetism detector includes a plurality of magnetic sensors, and

wherein the plurality of magnetic sensors are covered by an insulated container.

2. The biological information measuring apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flat panel detector is disposed outside the insulated container.

3. The biological information measuring apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flat panel detector is disposed inside the insulated container.

4. The biological information measuring apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flat panel detector is disposed inside a member of the insulated container.

5. The biological information measuring apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the insulated container facing the subject, is arcuate or flat.

6. The biological information measuring apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a radiation emitter configured to irradiate the subject with the radiation.

7. The biological information measuring apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a controller configured to implement control such that power is not supplied to the flat panel detector while the biomagnetism detector is detecting the biomagnetism.

8. The biological information measuring apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of magnetic sensors includes a superconducting quantum interference device.
