Design of Volumetric Magnetic Induction Tomography (VMIT) System Using COMSOL Simulation

Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) is a low-resolution imaging technique used to reconstruct the magnetic permeability distribution of an object. COMSOL Simulation of VMIT (Volumetric Magnetic Induction Tomography) system has been developed by using 8 coils as transmitter and 8 coils as receiver. The existence of sine excitation signal in the transmitter coil cause magnetic field changing, it causing emf at the receiver coil. The magnitude of the magnetic field induction is also influenced by the permeability of the medium between the transmitter and receiver coils. COMSOL and MATLAB simulation of VMIT 8 coil systems indicate that, by using ILBP algorithms, ball-shaped object with ferromagnetic materials (iron) can be reconstructed to produce a similar image. The sensitivity matrix significantly influences image reconstruction in MIT, leading to distorted elliptical images of objects, particularly when positioned at the top center, as the matrix shows homogeneity mainly in the middle area.
