Evaluation of the Electric Field Induced in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Operators

This paper aims at investigating the exposure experienced by the nursing staff executing transcranial magnetic stimulations (TMSs) and proposing a shielding system composed of an aluminum half cylinder placed around the coil. The analysis is carried out through a finite-element approach, using the D...
