I had an MRI last year. Showed the techs my card and they made some phone calls. They then made a little adjustment to the machine and we proceeded.
This year, I was slated for another MRI. The techs took my card and made some phone calls. This time, the head of the MRI dept. weighed in. He said that in the last couple of months “…your particular model cochlear implant has fallen off the list for approved devices for MRI.” So, no MRI. However, I was told by another MRI department (we called around) that their department would have no problem with doing the MRI, despite the “fallen off the list” issue.
Weird!?! What’s a girl to do?
