People with pacemakers can have any CT scan. The answer for MRI is changing now. Older pacemakers were not MRI compatible.

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.

What two types of pacemakers are there?
The two main types of pacemakers are temporary pacemakers and permanent pacemakers. Temporary pacemakers are used for short-term management of bradycardia or other heart rhythm issues, often in a hospital setting, while permanent pacemakers are implanted surgically for long-term treatment of chronic heart rhythm disorders. Permanent pacemakers are designed to regulate the heart's rhythm over an extended period, adapting to the patient's needs. Both types help ensure that the heart maintains an adequate rate and rhythm.
