The present invention provides a biometric information measuring device with which a diagnostic imaging result and a biomagnetism measurement result can be superimposed simply and with satisfactory accuracy, and which is easy to handle. This biometric information measuring device (1) is provided with: a biomagnetism detecting unit (2) capable of detecting biomagnetism of a subject (S); and a radiation detecting unit (3) capable of acquiring an image corresponding to irradiated radiation, as digital image data, by means of the supply of a power source. The radiation detecting unit (3) is disposed between a measuring region of the subject (S) and the biomagnetism detecting unit (2). Further, it is preferable to provide a control unit (6) capable of performing control such that the power source is not supplied to the radiation detecting unit (3) while the biomagnetism detecting unit (2) is detecting biomagnetism.
