Cardiovascular magnetic resonance with an MR compatible pacemaker

J Cardiovasc Magn Reson. 2013 Feb 15;15(1):18. doi: 10.1186/1532-429X-15-18.

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within FDA guidelines for the MRI-conditional pacemaker precludes placing the heart at the center of the magnet's bore. This in effect appears to preclude cardiovascular MR. In this manuscript, we describe a protocol for cardiovascular MR of patients with a Revo pacemaker system while operating within FDA guidelines, and the first US case of cardiovascular MR in a patient with a Revo MRI-conditional pacing system despite position constraints.
