Abstract
We analyzed the literature data and existing safety guidelines regarding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in
patients with implants.
The review contemplates safety precautions in patients with implantable medical devices (IMD) during MRI. Due
to the increase in the number of such patients, medical personnel should be highly competent in IMD classification
and labeling, possible interactions with magnetic fields, as well as accompanying technical documentation and
catamnesis. As per the best practices, we present recommended algorithms for MRI in patients with IMD.
