Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Siemens have developed a high-performance, low magnetic-field MRI system that produces superior images of the body’s internal structures ...

MRIs show incredible detail and help doctors diagnose medical issues that were invisible years ago, but people with pacemakers couldn’t undergo MRIs until now. A medical breakthrough makes MRIs safe ...

Heart patients face a big problem if they need an MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, to deal with serious health problems like cancer: Standard pacemakers can't withstand an MRI scan. Heart patients ...

MRI is a superb diagnostic tool that is being used on an increasingly frequent basis. No long-term or irreversible biological effects have been associated with the radiation and magnetic fields, ...

April 19, 2005 — A growing body of evidence suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be safe for selected patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and pacemakers; however ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. - MRI examinations can be performed safely in patients with non-MR compatible cardiac devices, including those who are pacemaker-dependent or have abandoned leads, according to a study ...

WASHINGTON — Sometimes state-of-the-art medical technologies clash. More than 2 million Americans depend on pacemakers or defibrillators to keep their hearts beating right. But those lifesaving ...

Generally, pacemakers improve quality of life for individuals who have a condition causing bradycardia, or a slowed heart rate. However, because there is an electrical device implanted near your heart ...

Fridley-based Medtronic, Inc., announced Tuesday that its Revo MRI SureScan Pacing System-the first and only pacemaker in the United States specifically designed for use in magnetic resonance imaging ...

Preparing for a successful MRI screening involves more than just lying still. Certain materials can interact with the strong magnetic field of an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine, so what you ...

DALLAS -- For years, older model, so-called legacy pacemakers were not compatible with MRIs because the metal in the pacemakers caused the magnetic resonance imaging devices to fail, lead tips to ...

DALLAS (Ivanhoe Newswire) – For years, older model, so-called legacy pacemakers were not compatible with MRIs because the metal in the pacemakers caused the magnetic resonance imaging devices to fail, ...
