Almost everyone can have an MRI with complete safety. The technologist will ask certain questions about your medical history to ensure the best possible results from your exam.

Patients with the following conditions are not candidates for MRI:

• Patients with cardiac pacemakers, neuro-stimulators or other electrical devices in their bodies.
• Patients with cerebral aneurysm clips are sometimes excluded.
• Pregnant women are generally not recommended for MRI scans. Be sure to inform your physician and the MRI Center staff if you are pregnant.
