Meningitis is a inflammation of the meninges and the most common central nervous system (CNS) due to bacterial infection. Numbers of children who have bacterial meningitis are still high in recent 15 years regardless of the availability of newer antibiotics and preventive strategies. This research focuses on simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics on the design and development of magnetic induction tomography (MIT) system that emphasizes on a single channel rotatable of brain tissue imaging. The purpose of this simulation is to test the capability of the developed MIT system in detecting the change in conductivity and to identify the suitable transmitter-receiver pair and the optimum frequency based on phase shift measurement technique for detecting the conductivity property distribution of brain tissues. The obtained result verified that the performance of the square coil with 12 number of turns (5Tx-12Rx) with 10MHz frequency has been identified as the suitable transmitter-receiver pair and the optimum frequency for detecting the conductivity property distribution of brain tissues.
