Can we make MRI scans safer and clearer for people with hearing implants?
NCT ID NCT04116788
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates how bone conduction and cochlear implants create artifacts (distortions) in MRI images. Researchers will test different MRI sequences and implant positions to see if they can reduce these artifacts. The goal is to improve MRI quality for people with hearing implants without removing the device.
