Synopsis: In this work, a new eddy current simulation method was presented. The eddy current simulation method presented in this paper is verified by the measurement results, EPI phantom images as well as localized excitation images on human subjects. The agreement of experimental and numerical data demonstrates the potential of using simulation methods in the study of eddy current characterization and in designing methods/techniques that can minimize eddy current.
