Article Synopsis
- The study explores the safety of conducting MRI scans in patients with cardiac implants like pacemakers and ICDs, which are typically seen as contraindications for such procedures.
- Over nine years, 65 patients underwent 73 MRI exams, with precautions taken like reprogramming devices to prevent issues during scans.
- Results showed that while most MRIs were safe, there were rare instances of device inhibition and induction of complications, especially in ICD patients, indicating that MRI remains experimental for them.
