A slim TMS-compatible MRI 10-channel RF coil array was
developed. The coil array was 2 mm thick to maximize TMS
efficacy and positioning freedom. Empirical data show
that the average SNR of TMS-compatible coil array is 44%
better than the commercial 32-channel array within the 5
cm depth. This TMS-compatible RF coil array is expected
to offer both anatomical images and functional MRI
signal induced by TMS with high sensitivity.
