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.

Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the specific cause and appropriate treatment based on the MRI findings.

An MRI itself cannot directly cause diarrhea. However, the contrast agents used in some MRI procedures may lead to gastrointestinal side effects in certain individuals, including diarrhea. Additionally, anxiety or nervousness about the procedure could also contribute to digestive issues for some people. If you experience diarrhea after an MRI, it may be worth discussing with a healthcare professional.
Can you take an MRI if you have kidney damage?
Yes, you can generally take an MRI if you have kidney damage, as the MRI itself does not involve any harmful substances for the kidneys. However, if contrast dye is needed for the MRI, caution is required, particularly with gadolinium-based contrast agents, as they can pose risks for individuals with severe kidney impairment. Always consult with your healthcare provider to assess the risks and benefits based on your specific condition.
