Safe for MRI scans

At some point in your life, you may need an MRI scan. With the new Neuro Zti 3T✓ cochlear implant from Oticon Medical, you can have the MRI scans you need without worrying about your cochlear implant. 

The new Neuro Zti 3T✓ cochlear implant is safe for use during MRI scans at the standard strength of 1.5 Tesla, as well as the more powerful 3.0 Tesla.

Check your Patient Card

Make sure to check your Patient Card before a MRI scan. This specifies the MRI conditions for your implant.
If your Patient Card does not specify 3T✓ then, don’t worry you can still undergo MRI scans at 1.5 Tesla with magnet in place.

MRI scans at 1.5T are the most commonly used.

Carry on hearing before and after

The innovative new magnet in the Neuro Zti implant is designed to withstand the powerful magnetic field of the MRI scan. This means you won’t need surgery to remove the magnet and you will be able to hear as usual right before and after the scan. However, during the scan itself you will need to remove your sound processor.

960x600-safe-for-multiple-scans

Safe for multiple scans

You can have an MRI scan lasting up to 60 minutes with your Neuro Zti implant in place. This gives the radiologist plenty of time to get the scan images needed. And if you need another MRI scan at a later date, this is no problem. The Neuro Zti is designed to be safe for multiple MRI scans.
