MR is a non-invasive and safe test. As MR works with a
strong magnet and radio waves, you need to tell us if
any of the following applies to you.
Cardiac Pacemaker - Unable to scan these patients
Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillator - Unable to scan
these patients
Aneurysm Clips - Some are ok. We will need to know
what type.
The following are things we can scan, but need to
know about:
Electronic implant or device
Neurostimulator or Biostimulator
Spinal Cord stimulator
Cochlear implant or implanted hearing aid
Insulin or infusion pump
Any type of prosthesis or implant
Artificial or prosthetic limb
Hearing Aid
Aortic or Carotid Artery Clips
Metallic stent, filter, or coil
Shunt (spinal or intraventricular)
Eyelid spring or wire
Wire mesh implant
Radiation seeds or implants
Joint replacement
Metal Rods, Plates, Screws, Clips, Staples, Sutures
or Pins
Dentures or partial plates
Shrapnel or Gunshot Injury
IUD/Diaphragm or Penile Implant
Tattoo's, Body Piercing
Transdermal Patch
Have you ever worked grinding metal? If so, if you
have ever had any in your eye, we may need to do an
x-ray before the scan.
