A Design of Array Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Coil System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research proposed a new design of helmet-shaped array transcranial magnetic stimulation coil system. It was constructed using several sagittal directional wires and several coronal directional wires. By varying the current direction and strength on each wire, this array coil system could be constructed into the circular coil and figure-eight coil of different size. Also, this proposed coil system can flexibly not only change the stimulation location, range, type and strength, but also change the shape and the channel number of coil dynamically. Keywords—TMS, circular coils, figure-eight coil, array coil

Dramatic Response of Resistant Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Right Supplementary Motor Area
The response rate to the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is 21.6% to 61.3%, which shows a relative resistance to current treatments and a need for novel therapeutic approaches. Here we report a case of resistant OCD with fast and dramatic response to a relatively new method of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation. In this method a pulse magnetic field emits from a coil o...
متن کاملDeep brain transcranial magnetic stimulation using variable “Halo coil” system
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has the potential to treat various neurological disorders non-invasively and safely. The “Halo coil” configuration can stimulate deeper regions of the brainwith lower surface to deep-brain field ratio compared to other coil configurations. The existing “Halo coil” configuration is fixed and is limited in varying the site of stimulation in the brain. We have dev...
متن کاملA novel coil array for combined TMS/fMRI experiments at 3 T.
PURPOSE To overcome current limitations in combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies by employing a dedicated coil array design for 3 Tesla. METHODS The state-of-the-art setup for concurrent TMS/fMRI is to use a large birdcage head coil, with the TMS between the subject's head and the MR coil. This setup has drawbacks in sensitiv...
متن کاملCoil Design of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation System for Small Animal
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique to stimulate the brain, nerve and muscle by electric fields that are generated from an excitation coil. rTMS offers potential benefit as a therapeutic treatment for a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Although various rTMS schemes have been developed for clinical studies, there is a lack of the coil...
