[MRI in patients with auditory implants equipped with implanted magnets-an update : Overview and procedural management].

CONCLUSION: Respecting the manufacturer's instructions, MRI scans without removal of the magnet in patients with these auditory implants is safe. However, due to possible defects/dislocations of the implant that may occur and the reduced quality of the skull MRI images, the indication for MRI in devices with MRI certification should only be performed under close consultation between the investigating physicians, the implanting team supervising the patient and the radiologist. All other possible diagnostic procedures should be exhausted first. PMID: 30350108 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Der Radiologe)
