ABSTRACT
In cochlear implant recipients, the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans is reduced by image artifacts. The static magnetic field of a 3.0T scanner is associated with the risk of implant demagnetization. The development of rotatable implant magnets aimed to support the advancement of 3.0T MRI scanners and eliminate the risk of demagnetization of cochlear implant magnets. This study aimed to compare the image artifacts caused by first-t and second-generation rotatable cochlear implant magnets in 3.0T MRI. Three Tesla MRI T2W TSE sequences were performed on 3 subjects with first- and second-generation rotatable cochlear implant magnets. The cochlear implant was fixed to the head at the implantation position by a swim cap. The size of the image artifact was determined in the transverse plane. Intraindividual comparative analyses showed that within the margin of combined uncertainty of 5 mm at a resolution of 2 mm, the cochlear implant-induced image artifacts in all subjects showed for both (first- and second-generation rotatable cochlear implant magnets), the same maximum image artifact dimension of 125 mm. We could show that no difference in image artifact size was detected within the margin of error determined by resolution, localized induced shift of the scan, and reproducibility of the tilt angle of the head relative to the chest in a living subject. Assumed improved magnet attachment can be reached without compromising of the magnet artifact size.
