Abstract
This invention relates to magnetic inductance tomography, and in particular, to coils of a sensor/driver coil array for use in a magnetic inductance tomography apparatus, in which driver/sensor coils are used to measure the induced flux in a conductive, dielectric and permittivity body, such as the human body. The sensor/driver coil array comprises at least one layer of thin coils whose centers are arranged on a regular grid, with adjacent coils overlapped by a suitable distance to cancel inductive neighbor coupling between them.
