Abstrakt: Objectives: Hearing implants often limit the assessment of magnetic resonance examinations due to susceptibility artefacts. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of artefacts attributed to the Osia®2 implant system in terms of utility in visualizing selected cranial structures.
Methods: A BI300 implant and an OSI200 actuator were implanted into a human cadaver head in the audiologically most favourable position according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Scanning was accomplished using the institutional head and inner ear protocol with a General Electric 1.5 Tesla scanner with retained and removed implant magnet, extended with T1 and T2 weighted sequences with metal-artefact reduction (MAVRIC SL). Image quality was evaluated by three radiologists.
Results: The Osia®2 produced significant artefacts in most of the series of standard imaging sequences predominantly on the ipsilateral side of the head. The majority of the artefacts were caused by the implant magnet. Even without removing the magnet, MAVRIC SL improved image quality to such an extent that it became comparable with that after magnet removal.
Conclusions: The standard sequences suffer considerable quality loss due to the artefacts, attributed predominantly to the magnetic component. Metal-artefact reduction sequences are effective in obtaining sufficient-to-good quality images without surgical magnet removal.
