MRI in patients with an implanted pacemaker
Specialist supervised MRI diagnostics for patients with implanted pacemakers.
Pacemakers used to be an absolute contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because the strong magnetic field could affect their performance. However, advances in technology now allow for the safe performance of MRIs on patients with implanted pacemakers.
Olymp Clinic MARS offers MRI diagnostics under the supervision of an experienced arrhythmologist. The specialist will assess the condition of the pacemaker, adjust its parameters before the examination, and restore the original settings after the procedure. This is a unique opportunity for pacemaker patients to undergo diagnostics without risking their health.
The patient must provide medical documentation for their pacemaker. Before the procedure, the arrhythmologist will reprogram the pacemaker to eliminate the magnetic field's influence on its operation. Additionally, the patient's condition will be monitored, and their medication will be adjusted if necessary.
MRI is performed under close arrhythmologist supervision. The examination is conducted as follows: The patient is placed in the tomograph, where the specialist uses pulse and electrocardiogram monitoring to observe their condition. The medical team visually observes the patient throughout the examination.
Olymp Clinic MARS provides a modern Philips SP Ingenia Ambition S tomograph, which allows for high-precision imaging even in patients with implanted devices.
After the MRI is done, the specialist analyzes the images and performs a final check of the pacemaker to ensure that the procedure has not affected the device's performance.
