Abstract
Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) is a kind of electromagnetic detecting and imaging technology, which is considered to be useful for diagnoses of the intracranial hemorrhage. The forward problem is the eddy current problem which is useful for improving the resolution of the measurement system and provides basic data for the inverse problem of image reconstruction. Simulation study on the forward problem in this paper includes four parts: illustration of the concept of a new MIT system, establishment of a mathematical model for the forward problem, creation of the human brain model and image visualization of the intracranial hemorrhage. In the results, the mathematical model was established with the edge finite element method, and MIT image visualization was realized under the real human brain 3D model. This study provides a foundation for MIT in the future clinical application.
