Can a person with a pacemaker have CAT scan or x-rays?
I have a pacemaker in both venticals, can I have a cat scan on my head? Yes....even if you have leads in both ventricles. In 20 plus years of performing CT scans at a very busy academic practice, there has never been a reported problem with a head CT in someone with a cardiac pacemaker.
Can people with pacemakers have an MRI and a Cat Scan?
People with pacemakers can have any CT scan. The answer for MRI is changing now. Older pacemakers were not MRI compatible. There are new pacemakers being installed that are MRI compatible (up to a certain size MRI strength). When you had your pacemaker installed, you should have received a card telling the technologist about your pacemaker and if it is safe to enter the MRI that will be used. If you did not get the card or have lost that card contact the office of the doctor that put your pacemaker in and ask them and also request another card.
