Abstract

Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) acted as a contactless and non-invasive medical imaging technology has aroused wide concern, while a large amount of calculation and a series of convergence problems in the solution of the inverse problem become technical difficulties for MIT. In order to solve these problems, an improved back-projection image reconstruction algorithm based on the magnetic field lines distribution is presented in this paper. Firstly, the eddy current problem of MIT was solved by the finite element method to obtain the magnetic field distribution. Secondly, the back-projection areas were divided according to the magnetic field lines distribution in the homogeneous field. Finally, image reconstruction was realized by projecting the phase shifts back along the corresponding projection area. The reconstruction results for perturbations with different conductivities appearing at different locations reveal that the improved back-projection algorithm for MIT owning the character of high speed performs well in reflecting location and shape information of the perturbation.
