MRI Contraindications
Contraindications
We cannot scan patients with pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted electronic devices.
Compatibility
Cardiac MRI is safe with joint replacements, coronary stents, ASD/PFO closure devices, sternal wires and most prosthetic heart valves. Patients with a history of metallic implants / shrapnel / prior neurosurgical clip placement are all individually evaluated prior to MRI.
