DH has just had ACDF surgery for his multiple spine problems. Because he has a pacemaker, although the surgeon was able to diagnose it with CT scans and a myelogram, it seems clear that MRIs are the gold standard for diagnosing spine problems.
His pacemaker battery is due to be replaced, probably later this year. We have thought about asking his cardiologist if the pacemaker, not just the battery, could be replaced with one that is MRI-compatible.
Has any had an MRI-compatible pacemaker installed?
Any comments about your experience would be welcomed.
