MRI safety management in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices: Utilizing failure mode and effects analysis for risk optimization.

Introduction: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasing in prevalence. Exposing patients with CIEDs to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can lead to adverse outcomes. This has led certain radiology departments to not accept MRI referrals related to patients with CIEDs.

Provision of MR imaging for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs): a single-center experience and national survey.

Background: Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) were traditionally denied access to MR imaging due to safety concerns.

Aims: The aim of this study was to review a single-center experience of MR imaging at 1.5T of patients with CIEDs and survey national availability of this service.
