Description
With MRI becoming a hot topic of discussion within the cochlear implant space, do you feel the introduction of Profile Plus eliminates this discussion?
Wade Colburn: Profile Plus is the latest implant innovation and allows for easier access to MRI. With that said, Cochlear was the first to offer MRI access with their implants, when a removable magnet design was applied to our CI24M implant in 1997. Since then, we have had a growing number of recipients (currently > 60,000) that have varying access to MRI. To ensure our patients have the best possible access, Cochlear is working in a few areas:
- Improving our website and streamlining our call line to have an MRI Hotline for both professionals and recipients
- Providing clarifications and tools for radiology professionals to better understand the scan parameters
- Pursuing enhancements to our compression offering and expanding the access to it within our current recipients
