Apollo CXS is the latest development in the area of Magnetic Field Imaging (MFI). Its precursors had already been conceived in the eighties by Dr. Sergio Erné (BMDSys today). MFI is primarily used for cardiac diagnostics. It records the magnetic fields changing in the course of a heartbeat and thus captures the electrophysiological function of the heart.

Pathological changes in myocardial activity and electrical cardiac activation can then be identified at an early stage.

The Apollo CXS is applicable for clinical routine use and is presently used in clinical diagnosis in the cardiologic departments of different hospitals.

Contact-free diagnostics with 55 high-tech sensors

With 55 magnetic sensors arranged in a hexagonal matrix, which can cover an area of approx. 28 cm in diameter on the patient's chest, Apollo CXS can record the entire relevant part about the patient's heart in a single data acquisition pass. The individual sensors are each able to record differences in the magnetic flux density of less than 25 femtotesla at a bandwidth of 1 Hz.
MIANDA, a specially developed analysis software system, facilitates comprehensive analysis of the results immediately after the examination.

Patient-oriented diagnostic tool

The diagnostic system does not expose the patient to any side effects at all, because it is non-invasive, contact and radiation-free and also requires no contrast agent whatsoever. No preparations are required for the examination. The system is suitable for both high patient throughput and emergency patients, because the actual examination takes about two minutes and the results are available after about one minute.

MIANDA – Efficient analysis software

Intelligent software is necessary to make sense of the huge volumes of data. With MIANDA, BMDSys has developed an analysis software, which meets today's clinical requirements. Dependent on indication, the data can be displayed in different forms, e. g. in three-dimensional animations or in specific curve functions, thus providing the attending physician with optimum support when making a diagnosis.
