Abstract
New applications for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are rapidly being developed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes but are restricted by a number of technical limitations. The ability to reliably perform TMS concurrently with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) would be a valuable tool for researchers. However the forces experienced by TMS coils during normal operation due to large transient magnetic fields which are produced, are problematic. When operated within a large external field, such as in an fMRI scanner these forces can result in mechanical failure of the coils. This paper presents calculations of these forces to form a basis from which coil failure can be prevented.
