Figure 1:

The elements of a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment suite include the stimulator (1), cooling system (2), treatment chair (3), induction coil (4) and, in some cases, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–guided navigation system (5) that incorporates a three-dimensional frameless stereotactic navigation camera (6). An rTMS technician or nurse typically performs the treatments. Cooling systems are not universally employed, but can allow for higher volumes of treatments per day; MRI-guided navigation systems are also not universally employed, but can offer greater accuracy for some applications of rTMS.
