Objective Our study aimed to investigate the feasibility of magnetic induction tomography (MIT) detecting the
conductivity distribution in vivo. Methods A model of injecting normal saline into rabbit’s abdomen was established. The
time-difference Newton-Raphson algorithm was applied to obtain the reconstructed images based on the background frames
of conductivity distribution before injection by a 16 excitation-detection multiplex coils system. Statistical correlation and the
significant differences between reconstructed values and doses were subsequently analyzed. Results The reconstructed images
showed the position of the saline injection, whose reconstructed values up-regulated with the dose increasing and were linearly
dependent with dose. Conclusion MIT is available to investigate conductivity distribution in vivo by detecting the position and the
variation trend of reconstructed values exactly with injected dose.
