Motor Threshold Determination
- Resting Motor Threshold (RMT) — the clinical standard for dose personalization
- Visual observation method with 50% rule (5/10 threshold)
- Contralateral hand monitoring technique
- 45° posterior-anterior current flow coil orientation
- Hot spot identification and definitive marking
- MT recheck trigger criteria (medication changes, weight changes, and more)
Treatment Site Targeting — Modified Beam F3
- Modified Beam F3 Method — Brain Ultimate standard operating procedure
- Three-landmark measurement system (nasion, inion, preauricular points)
- +0.35cm Y-axis adjustment for optimized DLPFC targeting (BU SOP)
- Complete documentation of all measurements for reproducibility
- Returning patient protocols: mark verification and MT recheck
FDA-Cleared Protocol Administration
- Standard MDD Protocol (10 Hz, 19 minutes)
- Enhanced MDD Protocol (10 Hz, 37 minutes)
- iTBS Protocol (3 minutes — accelerated theta burst stimulation)
- OCD Protocol (20 Hz, 18 minutes — with symptom provocation)
- Protocol parameter verification and session documentation
OCD-Specific Training
- Symptom provocation procedures — non-optional per FDA evidence base
- Personalized provocation content development (5-8 min before each session)
- Foot motor threshold determination (differs from hand MT)
- Anterior midline treatment site targeting (4cm anterior to FZ)
- Key OCD vs MDD protocol differences (intensity, frequency, coil orientation)
Safety & Emergency Protocols
