MRI in the pediatric patient with a cochlear implant
Purpose or Case Report:
To review magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) safety considerations in pediatric patients with cochlear implants (CIs) and to demonstrate feasibility of safely performing MRI of the brain in pediatric patients with CIs that have been deemed MRI conditional by the manufacturer.
Methods & Materials:
Results:
Conclusions: MRI scanners use powerful magnets to create high resolution images. MRI safety is always paramount, and patients with implanted devices that are deemed MRI conditional, such as particular types of CIs, may be safely scanned with MRI only under very specific conditions, which will be reviewed in detail. Artifacts created by the implants can be extensive and we will also review artifact-reduction strategies. It must be emphasized that scanning patients with CIs without strictly adhering to the stipulated manufacturer’s guidelines may result in severe patient injury and/or device malfunction.
