Open Function MRI

When can an MRI not be done?

Absolute contra-indications against an MRI scan are all electronic implants, e.g. pacemaker, neuro-stimulator (spinal or cerebral), subcutaneous implanted insulin pumps, Cochlea implants, older middle ear implants. Teflon and gold implants are no problem.
Extra caution is needed for intra-operative installed metal clips and all types of artificial heart valves. Under certain circumstances, we require a copy of the surgical report, which contains an exact description of the implanted materials.
Early pregnancy (3 months) is a relative contra-indication.
Should you not qualify for an MRI, computer tomography would be available as an alternative in most cases.
