Advances in technology and MRI

Since their first introduction to the European Union in 2008, MR-conditional CIEDs have become the standard care for patients indicated for cardiac device implantation

​

Numerous studies/trials have been performed to assess safety and efficacy of cardiac devices/leads in patients undergoing MRI

​

Several device models for each brand are now considered MRI compatible/conditional under certain circumstances (including MRI strength-mostly 1.5T, some now up to 3T)
