Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Neurosurgery - Medical / Health Care - Clinical Services

Nexstim NBS System with SmartFocus® nTMS helps neurosurgeons and radiotherapists plan their most delicate procedures, including tumor, epilepsy and AVM surgeries near eloquent tissue. Functional nTMS mapping provides accurate information on the anatomic relationship of the surgical targets with essential functions in the brain.

Nexstim NBS System, using the SmartFocus® TMS technology, is the only FDA cleared and CE-marked navigated TMS system for pre-operative mapping of the motor and speech cortices of the brain.

Reported benefits of SmartFocus® nTMS pre-operative mapping:

• With nTMS, interventional strategy and risk can be determined individually and precisely. ^1,2
• nTMS maps can help patient better understand the treatment options. ¹
•  nTMS results can indicate surgery in patients initially deemed inoperable. ¹
• In patients with low grade gliomas, increase time before tumor recurrence (progression-free survival time) by 46%. ³
•  nTMS maps improve chances for gross total resection rates. ^{1, 3}
• Topographic and neurophysiological preoperative nTMS analysis helps better interpret intraoperatively evoked neurophysiological phenomena. ⁴
• Patient already prepared and tested for intraoperative language assessment. ⁵
