Magnetic induction tomography aims to reconstruct the passive electric properties of an object by measuring its scattered magnetic field. Current state-of-the-art numerical techniques are based on differential formulations such as the finite element method. A formulation based on volume integral equations has not yet been applied to its biomedical field and could improve the reconstruction speed by reducing the number of unknowns. This paper investigates salient characteristics of the approach and offers a solution based on inhomogeneous Green's functions.
