Abstract

Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) is a non-invasive modality for imaging the complex conductivity (σ) or the magnetic permeability (μ) of a target under investigation. The critical issue in the clinical application of the detection of cerebral hemorrhage is the determination of intracranial hematoma status, including the location and volume of intracranial hematoma. In MIT, the reconstruction image is used to reflect intracranial hematoma. However, in medical applications where high resolutions are sought, image reconstruction is a time- and memory-consuming task because the associated inverse problem is nonlinear and ill-posed. The reconstruction image is the result of a series of calculations on the boundary detection value, and the color of the reconstructed image is the relative value. To quantitatively and faster represent intracranial hematoma and to provide a variety of characterization methods for MIT dynamic monitoring, one-dimensional quantitative indicators are established. Our experiment results indicate that there is a linear relationship between one-dimensional quantitative indicators. The change of the detection value can roughly determine the location of the hematoma.
