Iam Palatnik de Sousa, Elisabeth Costa Monteiro

Abstract

A comparison of the current regulatory status of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) devices in several regions of the world is presented. Examples of differences between countries in compliance assessment and certification are analyzed. Harmonization of terminology and reporting, as discussed in the literature, is taken into account, while critical issues are pointed out, aiming at the advancement of the metrological reliability of the technique.
