HEARRING Group is delighted to share with you the video recording of our recent Online Training in MRI & Hearing Implants.

It was an excellent educational event with an enriching program and renowned speakers, which was held entirely in German and focused on the following topics:

  • Various safety precautions of the different implants
  • Important examination parameters and where to find them
  • Details about absorbed radiant energy (SAR) and what to look for
  • Possibilities of an artifact reduction, case presentations
  • Exchange of experience in interactions between the implant and the MRI

MRI HI online training

ONLINE training

ON MRI & HEARING IMPLANTs

FEB 23, 2022

The increasing diagnostic importance and the more frequent use of MRI devices have led to the fact that, according to statistics, every person needs an MRI examination at least once in their lifetime (OECD 2020). From diagnostics to monitoring the success of a therapy, MRI has become an indispensable part of modern medicine. However, for people with hearing implants (cochlear, bone conduction, middle ear, as well as brainstem implants), this procedure still presents difficulties. Radiologists and radiology technologists often have concerns about performing MRI on hearing implant recipients. This is because complications associated with hearing implants, such as pain or technical damage to the implant, have been documented. For this reason, depending on the type of implant, manufacturers have developed special magnets to compensate for the forces of the magnetic field of the MRI and thus avoid these complications (for implant generations after 1994).

This is an advanced training, for which you will receive 2 DFP (Diplom-Fortbildungs-Programm) points, that are valid exclusively in Austria. It will give you enriching insights into the topic of MRI & Hearing Implants. The following points will be discussed in detail:

  • Various safety precautions of the different implants 
  • Important examination parameters and where to find them 
  • Details about absorbed radiant energy (SAR) and what to look for 
  • Possibilities of the artifact reduction, case presentations 
  • Exchange of experience in interactions between the implant and the MRI 

WHEN: February 23, 2022; 18:00 – 19:30

PROGRAM:

18:00 – 18:20 MRI & Hearing Implants from a radiologist’s perspective by Priv. Doz. Dr. Frühwald-Pallamar, MD, Institute Frühwald & Partner, St. Pölten

TEDx TALK William Crohan

TEDx TALK

by William CrohAn

“If you’ve got a problem and you’re passionate about fixing it, that’s all that matters”.
Structure preservation and robotics in cochlear implantation is a topic we consider absolutely vital to discuss. This brilliant TED talk features William Crohan, who is supervised by our distinguished members Gunesh Rajan and Dayse Tavora-Vieira. He talks about the research project, which focused on reducing the variation of pressure inside the cochlea during surgery, but also about the importance of simple ideas and fresh outlook.
This is exactly the kind of progress we aim to encourage. Have a look and get inspired by watching the video below.
