METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING THE ELECTRIC FIELD GENERATED ON THE BRAIN BY TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION |
摘要 |
A visualization surface representative of a portion of the brain at a depth below the head surface of the subject is generated by combining an actual representation of the head surface with an idealized representation of the head surface. The combining is a function of the depth and is performed to minimize in the visualization surface any irregularities existing in the actual head surface of the subject. A display shows the visualization surface overlaid on a volumetric image of the brain, the electric field induced on a region of the visualization surface by a transcranial magnetic stimulation ("TMS") induction coil device positioned above the head surface and the TMS coil device. By viewing the display, a user of the TMS coil device can interactively position the TMS coil device in relation to the head surface and, for a target site on the brain at a selected depth, determine the position at which the TMS coil device induces a maximum E- field on a visualization surface corresponding to the selected depth. |
