Comparison of scalp versus MRI-based localization of DLPFC for rTMS treatment.
Data drawn from MRIs in 100 patients scheduled to undergo DLPFC-rTMS in a clinical trial.
BeamF3 algorithm had <6.5 mm discrepancy from MRI navigation in >50% of patients.
BeamF3 radial measurement fell significantly short of MRI coordinate by 3.5 mm.
Adjusted BeamF3 method may acceptably approximate neuronavigation if MRI unavailable.
