Although MRI is an effective diagnostic tool, certain medical conditions will prevent individuals from having an MRI. Please inform your physician and our center personnel at the time of scheduling if you have either of the following:
 |
 Cardiac Pacemaker Implantable Cardioverter Difibrillator (ICD) Cochlear Ear Implant |
Other certain medical conditions may prevent individuals from having an MRI. Please inform your physician and our center personnel at the time of scheduling if you have any of the following:
|
Metal fragments located in one or both eyes Metal fragments or prosthesis within the body Pregnancy Certain type aneurysm clips Other certain type of electrical or magnetic activated implants |
It is very important that if you are pregnant or there is a possibility of pregnancy, or if you are breast feeding, that you inform your physician and the center personnel prior to your MRI.
If any of these conditions exist, your physician and/or the center radiologist will determine if you can be safely imaged or recommend an alternative diagnostic imaging procedure that can be safely performed for your condition.
