The principle of induction tomography. The tube of magnetic lines as
analog of beam in classic tomography |
The coil system of induction tomograph. 1 - inductors and detectors, 2 -
screen |

|
Experimental measuring system for magnetic induction tomography with 16 inductors and
detectors. The bottle filled with saline solution inside the system is used as test
object |
Image reconstructed from the data measured with the system. The dark spot corresponds
to the test object (plastic bottle 10 cm in diameter filled with 5% saline). The outward
circle is drawn with diameter on which the coils are placed |

Configuration of the complex phantom (percentage is the saline
concentrations) |
Reconstructed image (reference data set used for reconstruction was measured with the
large tank without inner cylinders) |
|
Initial conductivity distribution, which was used for
simulation of measurements. Lightest areas correspond to highest
resistivity, the spots approximate some organs inside human chest (1 -
muscles, 2 - spine, 3 - lungs, 4 - heart) |
Image reconstructed from the simulated results of measurement for 32-coil magnetic induction tomography system |

Human head cross-section: one of the first in-vivo images. Two bright spots in the central part may be identified as ventricles of the brain filled with CSF. |
