In identifying the location of tumors in the liver, eddy
current characteristics analysis can be applied since the
conductivity value of normal tissue and tissue with tumors are
different, which are 2.88 mS/cm and 5.33 mS/cm, respectively at
1 MHz. In this letter, simulation based on small scale magnetic
induction system was carried out. The system consists of a 10 cm
diameter sensor jig and a cone type screen excitation coil as the
primary field source. Simulation results showed that eddy
current analysis is capable of identifying location and size of
tumors in a liver tissue phantom. This result may have an impact
in Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) research since MIT
imaging modality is based on electrical conductivity property of
the material of interest
