tool box (for the non-cart system) typically includes:
the pointer
two trackers (coil and subject)
coil handle ring (prior to attachment to coil) or other coil
adapter
subject tracker glasses and headstrap
coil calibration block and mounting lug
hex keys and rods
three spare ref lector spheres.
Items may vary according to your site needs.
Calibration Block
The plate has three threaded pins. One pin is the point on
which you place the hot spot of the coil for coil calibration. Two
pins are to help you line up the axis of the coil and keep it stabilized over the plate during the calibration process. Their height
can be adjusted up or down to accommodate different coils. See
Figure 9-1.
Included with the calibration block is a lug bolt for installation
on the underside of the block, so that the calibration block can be
installed into the TMS Frame receptacle normally used for the
chin rest. This is practical, as the TMS Frame is often already
placed in the field of view of the Polaris, and it holds the calibration block stable while you use both hands to steady the coil
during calibration.
Pointer
Coil calibration block stabilizing pins
The pointer tool is used to identify anatomical landmarks on
the subject and to verify the subject–image registration. It consists of a narrow metal shaft connected to a handle which also
holds three ref lective spheres. See Figure 9-2.
Handle the pointer with care, as the accuracy of the system
depends on the pointer shaft being straight. If it gets bent, contact Rogue Research.
