Patients with cardiac stents are usually able to have an MRI, but it is recommended that you check with your primary care physician to see if the stent you are using is feasible to examine before the MRI.
Cardiac stents currently used in clinical practice are usually non-magnetic or only weakly magnetic and have no effect on MRI. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended that you check with your treating physician to confirm the material or type of cardiac stent you are using and whether or not it is feasible to perform an MRI before you undergo an MRI.
In addition, it is recommended to avoid eating or drinking too much before the MRI, and it is also not recommended to perform an MRI if your vital signs are unstable or you are mentally unstable and unable to cooperate with the physician’s instructions. Magnetic resonance imaging is not recommended if there are implants such as steel nails or plates in the body.
