Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring a magnetic resonance image of a patient during administration of transcranial magnetic stimulation. The method includes the steps of applying transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to a patient using a probe that is substantially constructed of non-ferromagnetic material, monitoring a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the patient during TMS wherein application of the TMS does not need to by synchronized to monitoring of the MRI.
