Cochlear implant users may require an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan at some point in their life, so MRI compatibility is an important consideration when selecting a cochlear implant. MED-EL cochlear implants offer MRI safety* without the need to surgically remove the internal magnet. At MED-EL, we recognize the importance of providing access to sophisticated medical diagnostics, including MRI, without any surgical intervention.
No need for surgery to remove and replace the internal
magnet
No incision or swelling to heal after an MRI scan
No recovery
time to affect implant use or performance
No significant
impact on MRI image quality
No limitations on daily activities
following an MRI scan
No risk of magnet displacement
* In the US, PULSARCI100 and SONATATI100 are currently approved for use at a scanner strength of 0.2 Tesla.
Please contact MED-EL prior to MRI examination
for important guidelines.
