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.

False eyelashes are MRI compatible/safe.
Almost certainly. Most orthopaedic metalwork is compatible with MRI scanners and large items such as a rod in the femur don't pose a particular problem as they are fixed in place and won't move. It would be wise to check with the MRI staff and/or the orthopaedic surgeons, however.

A Bard port, also known as a mediport, is surgically connected to a large vein or artery and implanted under the skin, for direct access to the blood stream. Usually, if there is an issue getting an intravenous started on someone (due to collapsed veins) that needs routine and long-term IV medication therapy (chemo, etc.), they will have one of these implanted for easy access.

If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.

No. It is not a treatment it is a scan. An MRI is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI are used for imaging tissues.
