What is Neuronavigation TMS?

TMS induces focused electrical current in desired brain regions via brief, time-varying magnetic fields produced by a coil, which is typically hand-held. The precise and reliable positioning of this coil is not a trivial task.

What is Neuronavigation system?

Neuro-navigation, also termed frameless stereotactic surgery, is the ability to perform real-time intra-operative guidance during cranial and/or spinal surgery. This ability increases the accuracy and safety in neurosurgery and such technology is becoming a standard in neurosurgery.

What does TMS do to the nervous system?

TMS Therapy Activates Brain Cells The magnetic pulses delivered by TMS actually produce small electrical currents in the brain that stimulate or activate, cells in the brain. As a result, the activated cells produce neurotransmitters, which help the brain communicate more effectively with other parts of the body.

Why is Neuronavigation important in brain stimulation research?

Neuronavigation has been shown to increase the accuracy with which surgeons can perform such delicate procedures. Tumor resections in the brain and pedicle-screw placement in the spinal column are two examples that require millimeter precision.

How does Neuronavigation work?

Neuronavigation provides a precise surgical guidance by referencing this coordinate system of the brain with a parallel coordinate system of the three-dimensional image data of the patient that is displayed on the console of the computer-workstation so that the medical images become point-to-point maps of the …

Why is Neuronavigation important?

Which technique is used in Neuronavigation?

This procedure is called image fusion. It can be performed by a neurosurgeon manually by superposing the correspondent images in both sets of images (for example, PET and MRI/CT). The main points to superpose are: eyeball, cornea, white comissure, skin markers etc.

When to use localite and neuronavigation in TMS?

Neuronavigation with Localite. Localite TMS Navigator is a navigation system for TMS which is integrated with MagVenture’s TMS equipment. Neuronavigation can be used by both researchers and healthcare professionals who want to plan stimulation areas as well as monitoring and recording the positioning of both patient and coil.

How does the brain Neuronavigation System work?

The neuronavigation system enables a TMS coil to be positioned over a specified target location based upon an individual’s MRI image, MRI generated 3D curvilinear reconstruction of the brain, or MNI average head model brain.

Is the brainsight TMS navigation system right for me?

Brainsight TMS navigation is Class I Medical Device according to the Medical Device Directive 93/42/ECC within the EU. Outside the EU Brainsight TMS is intended for Research purposes only. Is the Brainsight TMS Navigation system right for me?
