The patent US12032049B2 describes a sophisticated measurement apparatus designed to analyze the internal structure of a measurement subject using magnetic fields. The apparatus includes a static magnetic field application component that applies a constant or variable static magnetic field in a specified direction. Additionally, it features at least one deflection magnetic field application part that generates a deflection magnetic field at a predetermined frequency, directed differently from the static field. This setup allows for the detection of electromagnetic waves produced within the measurement subject, which are then analyzed by multiple magnetic field detection elements. The apparatus calculates an impedance distribution based on these detection results and generates images that provide insights into the internal characteristics of the measurement subject.

Further enhancements to the apparatus include the ability to detect relaxation phenomena of the electromagnetic waves, which can be used to create magnetic resonance images. The design allows for the accommodation of multiple deflection magnetic field application parts and detection elements, facilitating a comprehensive analysis of the measurement subject. The method outlined in the patent details the steps for applying the magnetic fields, detecting the resulting electromagnetic waves, calculating impedance distributions, and generating images that reflect the internal structure of the subject. This innovative approach has potential applications in medical imaging and material analysis, providing detailed insights into the internal properties of various subjects.
