Analysis of magnetic coil properties in magnetic induction tomography using FEMM software

Abstract

In Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) application, the needs of having the best spec of magnetic coil are very important since this is among the factors that will provide the best reconstructed image of the object that is going to be scanned. This report focuses on analysis of magnetic coil properties using Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) software. The analysis is done based on the Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) model which consists the application of four coils and four Hall Effect sensors. The simulation through this FEMM software will provide the magnetic field patterns of the system with different coil parameter in sensing the phantoms which is located at the centre of the modeled MIT system. The parameters which produced the best magnetic field pattern will be chosen as the selected parameters for the coil when the MIT hardware is going to be developed
