A novel transcutaneous bone-conduction implant (SentioTM) shows significantly reduced MRI artifact burden compared to cochlear implants. This quantitative assessment confirms SentioTM

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in patients with auditory implants is challenged by artifacts like signal void and distortion.
  • Existing methods for assessing artifact extent are often qualitative.
  • Quantitative evaluation is needed to compare artifact burden from different implant types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the MRI artifact burden associated with a novel transcutaneous bone-conduction implant (SentioTM).
  • To compare the artifact burden of SentioTM with cochlear implant controls.
  • To evaluate diagnostic image quality in the presence of these implants under standard clinical MRI conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1.5 Tesla MRI scans from patients with SentioTM (n=7) and cochlear implants (n=5).

  • Artifacts were quantified slice-by-slice using a custom Python-based DICOM pipeline, calculating artifact-to-brain ratio (ABR) and maximum void area.
  • Patient-level summary metric ABRmax was used for group comparison via Mann-Whitney U test.
  • Main Results:

    • SentioTM implants demonstrated significantly smaller and more confined artifacts, with a median ABRmax of 1.1% and median maximum void area of 1.7 cm².
    • Cochlear implant controls exhibited larger artifacts (median ABRmax 2.6%, median maximum void area 3.8 cm²; p<0.01).
    • Diagnostic image quality outside the immediate implant region was preserved in SentioTM examinations and partially preserved in cochlear implant cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Quantitative MRI artifact assessment using ABRmax is feasible in routine 1.5T clinical practice.
    • The SentioTM implant generates a smaller and more localized MRI artifact burden compared to cochlear implants under identical imaging conditions.
    • Routine turbo spin-echo MRI remains diagnostically useful in patients with SentioTM implants, even outside the direct vicinity of the device.
