Journal ArticleDOI
Demagnetization of cochlear implants and temperature changes in 3.0T MRI environment.
Omid Majdani,Martin Leinung,Thomas S. Rau,Arash Akbarian,Martin Zimmerling,Minoo Lenarz,Thomas Lenarz,Robert F. Labadie +7 more
TL;DR: Patients carrying CIs with non-removable magnets should not enter a 3.0 tesla (3.0T) MRI device in a routine clinical setup, as demagnetization of the magnets is dependent on the angle between the magnetic field of the CI magnet and the MRI.
Journal ArticleDOI
An automated insertion tool for cochlear implants: another step towards atraumatic cochlear implant surgery
TL;DR: The automated insertion tool has proven its capability to perform electrode insertions with final insertion depth angles within the target range of a standard cochlear implant surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Artifacts caused by cochlear implants with non-removable magnets in 3T MRI: phantom and cadaveric studies
Omid Majdani,Omid Majdani,Thomas S. Rau,Friedrich Götz,Martin Zimmerling,Minoo Lenarz,Thomas Lenarz,Robert F. Labadie,Martin Leinung +8 more
TL;DR: Evaluating artifacts produced by cochlear implants during 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging of the brain using different sequences on phantom and cadaveric specimens found that at 3T, artifacts around CIs with non-removable magnets compromise image quality of the nearby brain regions and diagnosis of brain lesions is limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated insertion of preformed cochlear implant electrodes: evaluation of curling behaviour and insertion forces on an artificial cochlear model.
TL;DR: The study confirms the functionality and reliability of the automated insertion tool for insertion of preformed CI and improves insertion strategies considering patient-specific anatomy become possible.
Patent
Apparatus and system for insertion of an implant
Thomas S. Rau,Andreas Hussong,Omid Majdani,Martin Leinung,Thomas Lenarz,Hubertus Eilers,Stephan Baron +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an apparatus for insertion of a flexible implant into a body section of an implant recipient, the apparatus comprising an elongate guiding section having a longitudinal axis and an inner volume for removably receiving the implant, and a second control device for controlling the actuation of the second actuator.
