Because of the internal magnet, all manufacturers' cochlear implants are approved as "MRI Conditional", which means that there are certain instructions that must be followed to ensure a safe MRI scan. For decades, Cochlear has designed Nucleus Implants for MRIs with accessible magnets.
What happens if you get an MRI with a cochlear implant?
The strong magnetic field of an MRI scanner can affect medical implants that contain metal or magnets. When this happens, the implant may move or twist inside of the patient's body, causing discomfort, pain, or injury.
Is cochlear implant contraindication for MRI?
Objective and importance: Traditionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was contraindicated for patients with cochlear implants (CIs), due to concern about device displacement, overheating of the device or tissues, or direct damage to the device electrode.
