System for transcranial magnetic stimulation using fitted head model
The granted patent US12020804B2 describes a novel system and method for conducting transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) procedures. Central to this innovation is a sensor and a processor that work together to identify anatomical landmarks on a human subject's head, such as the nasion, inion, and lateral canthus, without the need for traditional imaging techniques like MRI, X-ray, or CT scans. The processor is designed to determine a motor threshold or treatment location based on these landmarks, facilitating the TMS procedure. Additionally, the system can capture images of the subject's head to enhance the accuracy of landmark identification and treatment location determination.
The patent further outlines features that improve the safety and effectiveness of TMS procedures. The processor can monitor the position of the treatment coil during the procedure, ensuring it remains within a predefined range relative to the subject's head. If the coil's position deviates from this range, the system can automatically alter or halt the TMS procedure. The system's ability to generate a head model using feedback from the sensor, without relying on conventional imaging methods, represents a significant advancement in the field of TMS, potentially making the procedure more accessible and efficient for treating neuropsychiatric disorders.
