Abstract

This chapter presents an individualized diagnosis system for non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation. The feature of this proposal is that highly-accurate cortical localization method in the magnetic stimulation is developed after validating the procedure by comparing with the clinical data obtained in neurosurgery. The method is based on the computation of individualized TMS-induced electric field on the brain based on physical head models developed from magnetic resonance images, and thus it can be applied to an individualized treatment system. This personalized method allows TMS localization with high precision, such as in preoperative mapping that can permit reduce time identifying the functional regions during intraoperative phase in brain surgery. Also, the proposed method allows the evaluation of TMS coil characteristics and coil positioning for daily clinical protocols.
