Topographic bone thickness maps for Bonebridge implantations
Wilhelm Wimmer,Nicolas Gerber,Jérémie Guignard,Patrick Dubach,Patrick Dubach,Martin Kompis,Stefan Weber,Marco Caversaccio +7 more
TL;DR: This study describes the first clinical experience with a planning method based on topographic bone thickness maps (TBTM) for presigmoid BB implantations, and feasibility of the TBTM method was shown for standard presigmoids BB implantation.
Significant Artifact Reduction at 1.5T and 3T MRI by the Use of a Cochlear Implant with Removable Magnet: An Experimental Human Cadaver Study
Franca Wagner,Wilhelm Wimmer,Lars Leidolt,Mattheus Vischer,Stefan Weder,Roland Wiest,Georgios Mantokoudis,Marco Caversaccio +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the possible advantages for 1.5T and 3T MR scanning of the brain in CI carriers with removable magnets and support use of CIs with removable magnet, especially in patients with chronic intracranial pathologies.
