Abstract
Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) is an imaging technique for passive electrical properties used in industrial and biological imaging. In the case of biological purposes, high resolution measures of the magnetic field induced in the body and the ability to acquire data at several points along its border with several incident field angles are two major technological objectives of MIT. This paper presents a new prototype that allows moving sensing coils and the body in analysis. Its characterization and dimensioning are presented along with preliminary acquisitions results, benchmarking some of the known cancelation techniques for a moving prototype.
