CA 2718275

A method and device provide simple positioning of a TMS coil relative to a coordinate system of the patient's head while allowing flexible positioning of the patient's head. The system includes a mobile console on a wheeled base that integrates various subsystems and supports a mast that, in turn, supports a coil gantry that supports a TMS coil assembly. The coil gantry includes a balance arm with a counterbalance and a halo assembly that connects to the coil. The coil gantry supports the weight of the coil and allows free movement of the coil in all dimensions for easy placement on the patient's head. A head support and coil alignment unit includes several parts that are designed to provide maximum patient comfort and reliable coil position measurement of the patient's motor threshold (MT) location and TMS treatment location.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif fournissant un positionnement simple d'une bobine de TMS par rapport à un système de coordonnées de la tête d'un patient tout en permettant un positionnement souple de la tête du patient. Le système comprend une console mobile sur une base munie de roues qui intègre divers sous-systèmes et porte un mât qui, à son tour, porte un portique de bobine qui porte un ensemble bobine de TMS. Le portique de bobine comprend un bras d'équilibrage ayant un contrepoids et un assemble halo qui est relié à la bobine. Le portique de bobine supporte le poids de la bobine et permet un déplacement libre de la bobine dans toutes les dimensions pour un positionnement facile sur la tête du patient. Un support de tête et une unité d'alignement de bobine comprennent plusieurs parties qui sont conçues pour fournir un confort maximum au patient et une mesure de position de bobine fiable de l'emplacement du seuil moteur (MT) du patient et l'emplacement d'un traitement de TMS.
