MRI Metal Artifact Reduction Sequence for Auditory Implants: First Results with a Transcutaneous Bone Conduction Implant

Conclusion: The sequence for metal artifact reduction optimized in Bern enables MRI at 1.5 T in patients with active transcutaneous bone conduction implants without sacrificing diagnostic imaging quality. Particularly on the implanted side, imaging of intracranial and supra- and infratentorial brain pathologies is clinically more valuable than standard diagnostic MRI without any artifact reduction sequences.Audiol Neurotol
