Abstract
Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) is a non-invasive and contactless electromagnetic imaging method, which is especially suitable for medical monitoring. The low sensitivity of the central region of the measured target has always restricted the application of MIT in practice. In this paper, based on the analysis of the biological structure of human brain, the sensitivity of the brain structure to the forward problem is studied. The experimental parameters are certain, the measurement model is established, and the perturbation conductivity value is calculated and compared in the case of multiple perturbations to the target object under different conditions. The result shows that, under the ideal condition of parameter setting, adding perturbations to the target region can improve the sensitivity within the region can provide a new way of thinking for the research of improving the sensitivity in MIT.
