In this abstract we show a new combined TMS-MRI setup
and a specific MR sequence that allow us to guide and
provide dosimetry of TMS magnetic field with the MR
scanner for a patient specific treatment. In fact, using
precise MR based map of the TMS magnetic field, in
combination with electromagnetic simulations and
pre-acquired anatomical images, we can evaluate the
behaviour of the induced TMS electric field and
therefore precisely target a certain functional area by
overlaying these maps.
