\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStandard rTMS uses the 5cm rule or 10-20 EEG system to estimate DLPFC location. Individual cortical anatomy varies by up to 20mm from population averages \u2014 meaning the intended target and actual stimulation site may differ substantially.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNeuronavigation uses the patient\u2019s own structural MRI to map their unique anatomy, with real-time coil tracking throughout every session. This eliminates spatial error, ensures consistent placement, and allows individualised protocol selection based on anatomical findings.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
