Resumo:
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used in the treatment of disorders of neuropsychiatric origin, such as mood disorders and auditory hallucinations. By means of a technique known as neuromodulation, cerebral bioelectrical activity is stimulated from electrical currents induced by the emission of an alternating magnetic field, in an anatomical region previously established according to defined therapeutic protocols, using electromagnetic coils coupled to EMT, with models in the form of ring, figure-of-eight, double cone, among others. The assurance of treatment and safety efficacy for both the patients and the device operators depends on the spatial distribution of the magnetic flux density emitted in the vicinity of the EMT equipment, according to the design of the induction coil employed. A multichannel magnetic measurement system (SMM) has been developed in order to evaluate the configuration of magnetic flux density generated by and around magnetic stimulation devices. With the SMM the magnetic mapping along an XY plane was performed under the coils of figure-of-eight and double cone models, which includes study of responses, when stimulated with varying output intensities and distances. The results allow to characterize the decay of the magnitude of the field for the figure-of-eight and double cone coil models towards the region closest to the position of the operator s hand and to identify, in a preliminary way, the distribution of the flux density magnetic properties in more superficial regions and the extent of penetration of the stimulus intended for the therapeutic effect.
