This paper provides a characterization of the induced electric field distributions in the brain of a realistic human model due to 16 different coil configurations. We used the scalar potential finite element method to calculate the induced electric field distributions differentiating the brain structures, e.g. cortex, white matter, cerebellum, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, pons and midbrain. We found that, despite the presence of a depth-focality tradeoff, some configurations are able to reach subcortical white matter tracts at effective electric field level.
本文描述了16种不同线圈配置在真实人体模型大脑中感应电场分布的特征。我们使用标量势有限元方法来计算区分大脑结构(如皮质、白质、小脑、丘脑、下丘脑、海马体、脑桥和中脑)的感应电场分布。我们发现,尽管存在深度聚焦权衡,但某些配置能够在有效电场水平下到达皮质下白质束。
