Your welcome that is why MCC is here.
I am not a medical professional and certainly not an expert on any topic at MCC. When it came for me to have a MRI (prostate cancer) I really had doubts about being able to have a MRI because I have an ICD/Pacemaker. Research and studies I read said can't do it and some saying can. Conflicting and confusing information.

That is when I sent my questions and concerns to my medical providers. Getting direct and specific guidance for you is important. My EP and Pace Clinic were already aware of the MRI being scheduled and were working with MRI department on what would needs to be done and have a Pace Technician present.

My medical team told me please do not be concerned you can have a MRI we just have to do some additional things to make it safe. I got the same response from the manufacturer of my ICD/Pacemaker Boston Scientific.

MRIs are great diagnostic tools. There are many other great medical institutions like Mayo but I am glad to be a patient there.
Good luck,
