DWI and T2 GRE sequences are less useful in MRI evaluation of CI patients. With a more favorable artifact profile, T1 FSE, T2 FSE, and T1 GRE sequences more likely yield clinically useful information. The large proportion of scans performed for known pathology represents an opportunity to optimize for magnet location preoperatively.
