Magnetic Resonance Imaging Artifacts and Cochlear Implant Positioning at 1.5 T In Vivo

Abstract

Aftercare and visibility of intracerebral structures after cochlear implantation is becoming more important as cochlear implant indications are widened worldwide. With a distance of at least 9 cm from the outer ear canal the artifact induced by the magnet allows evaluation of the labyrinth and the internal auditory canal.
