Interleaved TMS/fMRI provides insights into stimulation-induced changes in brain networks, but its clinical implementation is hindered by technical challenges. We introduce a novel approach using a flexible GE RF-coil that enables artifact-free whole-brain imaging during iTBS. This setup overcomes previous limitations associated and offers good, homogenous SNR, particularly in subcortical regions.
