FAQ series, part 2/5: Is this MRI compatible? Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is a widely utilized and important tool that is used to take images of all parts of the body so doctors can diagnose different conditions. Since cochlear implants contain a magnet, this introduces a potential problem for MRI scans. As you can imagine, a magnet gets pulled when placed in a strong magnetic field, such as in and around an MRI machine. That pull, or torque, can cause the magnet to move inside your head, which can cause pain and even potential damage. The first of its kind, the HiRes Ultra 3D implant’s unique design allows adults and children to safely have high-resolution imaging, such as 3.0 Tesla MRIs, without any preparation, surgery, or head bandaging. The innovative multi-magnet assembly within this implant spins in place under torque, so the implant itself won’t be put under pressure.
