Abstract
- Many cochlear implant recipients require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cochlear implants (CI) have been contraindications to MRI, because of potential device displacement, generation of heat within the device and surrounding tissues and potential compromise of device integrity. The CI-MRI incompatibility has led to changes in the designing of CI. One approach has been to enable the magnet to be surgically removed before MRI. We report an experience of performing MRI on a cochlear implant recipient after magnet removal.
