Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Cochlear Implants without Magnet Removal: A Radiology-Administered Protocol to Enhance Operational Efficiency and Improve Workflow.

Objective: To describe the development, implementation, and validation of a radiology-administered protocol to obtain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with cochlear implants and auditory brainstem implants without magnet removal.

Study Design: Retrospective review and description of novel care pathway.

Methods: A radiology-administered protocol was designed based on careful input from the radiology safety committee and neurotology.
