Abstract

A magnetic induction tomography system and method for studying the electromagnetic properties of an object includes generator coils adapted for generating a primary magnetic field, and sensor coils adapted for sensing a secondary magnetic field. Actuators provide relative movement between the generator coils and/or the sensor coils on the one hand and the object to be studied on the other hand.
