“…Previously, the analytical expression that relates the current,
, induced by an RF coil on an oblique DBS electrode (Figure 1A) to the left‐handed circularly polarized component (defined as
) of the scattered magnetic field on an arbitrary transversal plane has been calculated as follows
32 :
where
is the scattered
field caused by the induced current on the electrode;
is the radial distance of an arbitrary observation point from the electrode; and
denotes the azimuthal angle of the observation point in relation to the conventional MRI scanner coordinate system (i.e., laboratory frame). As shown in Figure 1A, the rotation and obliqueness of the electrode with respect to the primary coordinate system are presented by a polar angle,
, and an azim...…”
