Objective To solve the eddy current problem or the forward problem in magnetic induction tomography(MIT). Methods Differential equation and its boundary condition of eddy current problem in MIT were presented; finite element method was used to calculate the magnetic vector potential of perturbations with different conductivities or positions. Results The simulation results agreed well with the measured ones from a single receiving coil MIT system. Conclusion The good agreement of the simulated data with the measured ones demonstrates the applicability of the finite element method for biomedical applications and a solution of the forward problem in MIT, a more sophisticated simulation model may further improve the calculation accuracv.
