MAGNETIC STIMULATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A magnetic stimulation device for giving a magnetic stimulation to the body of a patient, comprising:
- an excitation coil; and
a coil driving power supply for flowing current having a specific pattern through the excitation coil, wherein a magnetic field is generated by applying a specific current waveform pattern to the excitation coil,wherein the excitation coil can be selected from a plurality of coil types and connected,wherein a coil type detection means for distinguishing the type of the connected excitation coil is provided, andwherein a control unit for controlling an operation of the coil driving power supply selects the current waveform pattern predetermined for each of the excitation coil based on the type of the excitation coil distinguished by the coil type detection means and supplies current with the selected current waveform pattern.

Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to enable the convenient supply of optimal therapeutic conditions on a per disorder and patient basis by making a coil driving power supply (1) identify the type of coil (2-1, 2-2) connected thereto and apply a specific current waveform pattern to the coil (2-1, 2-2). The transcranial magnetic stimulation system according to the present invention has one or more current waveform pattern for inducing a magnetic field in the coil, and a detection means for determining the type of the coil (2-1, 2-2) and/or a coil that is connected to the power supply (1), and determines the magnetic field inducing current waveform pattern according to the coil type determined.
