Predicting Magnetostimulation Thresholds in the Peripheral Nervous System using Realistic Body Models

Abstract Rapid switching of applied magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency range in the human body induces electric fields powerful enough to cause Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS). PNS has become one of the main constraints on the use of high gradient fields for fast imaging with the latest M...
