Is my Medtronic pacemaker MRI compatible?
Is it possible for all pacemakers to be compatible with MRI?
MRI exams are safe with certain devices. Most heart valves, coronary artery stents, and other devices currently on the market can be safely scanned by an MRI scanner.
The question is: What should you avoid when using a pacemaker to control your heart rate? You must avoid contact with magnetic fields or electrical devices for a period of time after you have installed a pacemaker. The following devices can interfere with a pacemaker: Cell phones, MP3 players (e.g. iPods), and household appliances like microwave ovens.
