To evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging artifact and image distortion associated with the Oticon Medical Sentio Ti bone conduction implant (BCI) and identify optimized imaging techniques.
Clinicians managing patients with the Oticon Medical Sentio Ti implant should follow the optimised MRI protocols identified in this study to minimise image artefact when MRI is clinically required.
As bone conduction implants become more common, reliable MRI compatibility guidance is essential for safe co-management of implant recipients who need neurological or oncological imaging.
- 01Study evaluated MRI artefact extent and image distortion caused by the Oticon Medical Sentio Ti transcutaneous bone conduction implant.
- 02Optimised imaging protocols were identified to reduce artefact and preserve diagnostic image quality.
- 03Published in Otolaryngology–Neurotology, suggesting peer-reviewed methodology.
- 04Findings are directly relevant to radiologists and surgeons co-managing bone conduction implant recipients.
- 05No abstract was available; specific artefact dimensions and protocol parameters could not be extracted.
The Oticon Medical Sentio Ti transcutaneous bone conduction implant produces MRI artefact and image distortion detectable in clinical scanning conditions.
