Standard TMS is completed using manual measurements which can leave room for human error. Neuronavigation is a computer based tracking system that ensure the coil is always in the right spot
About neuronavigation
Placing the magnet in the right spot is key to ensuring the best possible treatment outcome. Rather than relying on the human eye, neuronavigation uses a computer to find the right part of your brain associated with positive mood and ensure the magnet remains there throughout treatment.

Targeting the right spot is important
If the magnet is not placed in the right place, your treatment is less likely to work
Neuronavigation finds this spot with sensors
A sensor is placed on your head and the TMS coil and a camera locates the right spot
Your head may move during treatment
A slight movement may mean that your treatment becomes less effective. Neuronavigation will alert our TMS Clinician if your head moves and allow them to adjust it
“Neuronavigation based on individual anatomy can improve precision of coil positioning and may lead to a superior therapeutic effect of prefrontal TMS”
