SmartMove - The robotized TMS coil positioning system
Robotized TMS is a novel approach in the application for image guided transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS).
SmartMove - allows planning of a complete stimulation
session ahead by defining stimulation sites based on anatomical MRI information and
functional information like fMRI, PET or EEG/MEG. During the executing the TMS stimulation
sequence, the system places the coil at the predefined target positions and keeps
the coil in place even if the head of the patient/subject moves.
The robotic system
is able to define stimulation targets based on the individual anatomy of the brain.
Based on the intended target, it calculates the optimal position of the TMS coil.
Because of the optical position sensor the system is provided with, movements of
the patient's head are constantly monitored. When the patient's head moves, the position
and the orientation of the TMS coil are adjusted accordingly. SmartMove is able to
perform a wide range of tasks, from the simple maintenance of the TMS coil at the
intended target to the definition and performance of complex stimulation protocols.
SmartMove features & benefits
- Highly accurate automatic positioning of TMS coil.
- Easy target and grid definition.
- Placement of the coil tangentially to the head.
- Magnetic stimulation is done when the coil reaches the pre-defined target.
- Head movement compensation.
- Defining of entire stimulation protocols.
- Repetition of previous stimulation target positions
- Online mapping of evoked motor responses.
- Compatible with all TMS stimulation, including Magstim and Magventure.
