Summary:With the recent advancement in high-performance head gradient coil technology for magnetic resonance imaging, the assessment of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has become increasingly important. In this paper we employed a coupled electromagnetic neurodynamic simulation to estimate the PNS level in a human body model for a high gradient amplitude and high slew rate head gradient coil. The results show strong correlation between simulations and measurements.
