Why has the contraindication for MRI, CT-scan, and X-rays been removed for the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor?

After rigorous testing, it has been shown that FreeStyle Libre 2, FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus, FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors are not impacted by common imaging procedures and you can safely depend on their sensors for glucose readings after X-ray, CT and MRI* scans. You do not need to remove your sensor for these imaging procedures.

*MRI Safety Conditions: Sensor readings may be compromised during the MRI, but System function returns fully back to normal after 1 hour. Scanning between the pelvis and sternum (3T scanners) should be limited to 12 minutes maximum with a cooling period of 2 minutes in between scans. All other areas (1.5T scanners) can scan for up to 1 hour continuously without a cooling period.
