Patient Safety

Most patient’s can have an MRI exam, even those who have metal implants.

Those patients with the following cannot have an MRI:

• Pacemakers

• Implanted TENS units

The following implants may require that we see your implant card so that we can call the manufacturer for scanning safety:

• Cerebral aneurysm clips
• Stents
• Filters
• IUD’s

If you have any questions regarding the safety of an implant, please call and speak to one of our technologists.

If you are pregnant or feel you may be pregnant please call us so we can consult with your physician and discuss the situation with you.
