    Metal ossicular prostheses are not attracted to MRI magnetic fields. However, these metal implants can distort magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fields, leading to abnormal scan images, despite being magnetically safe.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Middle ear surgery often involves the use of metal ossicular prostheses.
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilizes powerful magnetic fields, raising safety concerns for metallic implants.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the magnetic attraction of common metal ossicular prostheses within a 5000-gauss MRI magnetic field.
    • To investigate the impact of these prostheses on MRI image quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Testing a selection of commonly used metal ossicular prostheses for magnetic attraction.
    • Utilizing a model system to assess magnetic field perturbation by the prostheses.

    Main Results:

    • No tested metal ossicular prostheses exhibited attraction to the 5000-gauss MRI magnetic field.

  • The presence of some metal objects was found to perturb the magnetic field in a model system.
  • This perturbation resulted in altered images produced by the MRI scanner.

    • Conclusions:

    • Metal ossicular prostheses appear to be magnetically safe in powerful MRI fields.
    • Despite safety from attraction, metal implants can significantly alter MRI magnetic fields.
    • Implanted metal objects can lead to abnormal or distorted diagnostic images in MRI scans.
