Abstract: To analyze the sensitivity of brain magnetic induction tomography (MIT), a simple three-shell concentric circular head model was presented. The influences of hematomas conductivity, hematomas area, hematomas location and skull conductivity on the induced voltage of receiving coil were discussed, and the reconstructed image was obtained by using variation regularization method for three different hematomas locations. Simulation results showed that low conductivity of the skull had little effect on the induced voltage of the receiving coil. The location and size of hematomas could be reflected by the reconstructed image using the variation regularization method. Compared with the Tikhonov regularization method, the quality of the reconstructed image obtained using the variation regularization method was enhanced. So an effective method for brain magnetic induction tomography was introduced.
