头盔式动态可变多通道经颅磁刺激线圈的设计

    A Design of Helmet-Shaped Dynamic and Multi-channel Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Coils

    • 摘要: 为了实现真正意义上的动态可变多通道经颅磁刺激(TMS),首次提出了头盔式网状线圈的设计理念。基于该理念设计的TMS 线圈系统,可以在全头范围内实现多通道经颅磁刺激,而且在线圈定位、分辨率等方面得到极大改善,同时还可以实现刺激部位、面积、方式和强度的实时动态可变性。建立了人体头颅电磁模型来模拟TMS 线圈产生的诱导电流分布,同时还对线圈产生的诱导磁场分布进行了实际测量,模拟与实测结果均与理论值相符,证明了该设计的有效性与可行性。

       

      Abstract: In order to realize a real dynamic and multi-channel transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), in this study, we proposed a new design of helmet-shaped mesh TMS coils for the first time. This proposed new TMS coils can achieve multi-channel stimulation on whole brain surface with greatly improved spatial resolution and precise positioning. Moreover,the proposed coils can realize the real-time dynamic variability on position, size, type and magnitude of TMS stimulation. We built an electro-magnetic model of the human head to simulate the distribution of electric field induced by TMS coils. Furthermore, the distribution of magnetic field induced by TMS coils was measured. Both the simulation and measurement results are consistent with the theoretical value, which suggest that the proposed coils are effective and can be wildly used in future TMS studies.
