Deanne Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 I was reading a Facebook post about another brand of ci and it mentioned that breast screening MRI’s were not allowed because you are face down.i sadly am in the high risk group and my doctor has been suggesting an mri screening. I already have to do MRI’s due to my having acoustic neuromas and refused having yet again another mri…not my favorite thing already. Does anyone know if MRI’s are approved / allowed with ci’s For breast cancer screening. I looked over quite a bit of MedEl literature and found nothing referencing breast cancer screening.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 22 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 22 @Deanne Have you seen this? Contacting your CI surgeon about this is probably a good idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanne Posted July 22 Author Report Share Posted July 22 @Mary Beth no, I hadn't seen this one. I will be talking with my surgeon. She is ok with my head and spine mri's, I just think the breast screenings are a bit different. The other thing I noticed in this document was the duration, my last spinal set was really long, so they may have to break it up. Thanks for this!
