New Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) coil designs improve focus and energy deposition. Actively shielded probes enhance targeting precision for potential therapeutic applications.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) devices face limitations in targeting accuracy and stimulation depth.
  • Current TMS coil designs often result in suboptimal energy deposition and limited therapeutic efficacy.
  • Improving the precision and depth of TMS is crucial for enhancing its clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel approach for designing TMS coils using actively shielded probes.
  • To enhance the focus (sharpness) and penetration depth of the induced electric field in TMS.
  • To investigate the trade-off between sharpness and penetration in actively shielded TMS coils.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized iterative optimization techniques to design active shielding coils for TMS probes.

  • Defined objectives to maximize energy deposition in a target region and increase deep electric field penetration.
  • Validated designs using a realistic human head conductivity model, including surface charge effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved designs demonstrating a tunable trade-off between sharpness and penetration.
    • The chosen design reduced penetration depth by 16.7% and activated surface area by 24.1%.
    • Increased coil power by 16.3% restored lost penetration, albeit with reduced stimulated volume reduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Actively shielded TMS coils offer improved targeting precision and energy deposition compared to conventional designs.
    • The study highlights a controllable trade-off between stimulation sharpness and penetration depth.
    • Further optimization of power delivery can potentially overcome penetration depth limitations while maintaining improved targeting.
