A dedicated 7-channel MR coil was built for concurrent
TMS/fMRI Studies. The developed hardware can be placed
under the TMS due to the ultra-slim design in the
middle, ensuring efficient TMS stimulation and
performing a very high SNR at a target depth up to 6 cm.
With these satisfactory results, it had to be shown that
the functionality of neither the novel MR head coil or
the TMS system when working in combination was affected.
The possible interactions of the dedicated MR coil on
the TMS device and vice versa were the focus of this
work.
