Multichannel mapping of fetal magnetocardiogram in an unshielded hospital setting

To evaluate the feasibility of unshielded in‐hospital multichannel mapping of fetal magnetocardiogram (FMCG), with a 36‐channel system for standard adult magnetocardiographic (MCG) recordings, and its reliability according to the recommended standards for FMCG.
