Contractility is one of the most crucial functions of the heart because it is directly related to the maintenance of blood perfusion throughout the body. Both increase and decrease in contractility may cause fatal consequences. Therefore, drug discovery would benefit greatly from reliable testing of candidate molecule effects on contractility capacity.

Optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are an established alternative to superconducting sensors for magnetoencephalography (MEG), offering significant advantages including flexibility to accommodate any head size, uniform coverage, free movement during scanning, better data quality and lower cost. However, OPM sensor technology remains under development; there is flexibility regarding OPM design and it is not yet clear which variant will prove most effective for MEG. Most OPM-MEG implementations have either used single-axis (equivalent to conventional MEG) or dual-axis magnetic field measurements.

Several studies have shown that dual-axis rotational coronary angiography (DARCA) reduces contrast medium volume and radiation exposure compared to conventional coronary angiography (CCA). However, there are no studies comparing the safety and usefulness of DARCA in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of DARCA on contrast medium volume, radiation exposure, time course of treatment, and adverse events in primary PCI for patients with STEMI.
