Zusammenfassung:A magnetic inductance tomography (MIT) device for imaging a tissue of a patient can include multiple coils, electronic circuitry, and one or more processors. The electronic circuitry can separately energize individual coils of the multiple coils to generate magnetic fields perturbed by the tissue. The one or more processors can receive MIT signals responsive to the magnetic fields perturbed by the tissue and process the MIT signals to generate an MIT image. The MIT signals can include a first MIT signal generated by a first coil of the multiple coils and a second MIT signal generated by a second coil of the multiple coils. The first MIT signal can be indicative of a characteristic of the tissue at a different depth in the tissue from a surface of the tissue than the second MIT signal.
