Can I have an MRI scan if I have a pacemaker?
Advances in technology and MRI safety protocols mean that many people with pacemakers can have an MRI scan under specific conditions. Even people with some older models of pacemaker can now be scanned after a careful assessment and the use of specialised safety protocols.
If you’re referred for an MRI, the first step is to tell your referrer, and then let our Bookings Team know about your pacemaker before making your booking.
