If any of your doctors have questions, they should contact a Medtronic representative or Medtronic Technical Services Approximately 60 million MRI procedures are performed worldwide each year American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) have issued guidelines stating that a careful risk/benefit must be established and that cardiac implantable devices remain a relative contraindication to MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a large magnet, radio signals, and a computer to make images of organs and tissue in the body. In this case, the heart is imaged. The MRI machine is large and tube-shaped. It creates a strong magnetic field around the body. Some MRI machines are more open Summary: industry consensus methodologies on measuring MRI system performance. Whilst they deal primarily with image quality, Standards MS 4, 8 and 10 are relevant for patient safety: NEMA MS 4 - Acoustic Noise Measurement Procedure for Diagnostic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Devices [26] The MRI scanner will make loud banging noises during the procedure. You may be offered earplugs to block the MRI machine's noises, or you may listen to music during the test. There are no risks. Prior to initiating the MRI procedure, the physician must determine if the patient can safely be deprived of medication for the length of the MRI procedure. If medication is needed, then alternate means of drug delivery (such as I.V. administration) should be employed for the duration of the MRI procedure

Risks Associated with the MRI Lab Used properly, the magnetic resonance imaging equipment contained within the MRI lab is quite safe; however, it poses serious risks to the unwary. Users of the lab should be completely familiar with this manual and with the procedures for protecting others from hazards. T What is MRI? MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a wonderful imaging tool, which provides great detail of the internal structures of the body without using radiation.
