MRI ACCESS Implantable Cardiac Devices
Cardiology and Radiology
Unmatched MRI Access
Annually, 12-16% of device patients are likely to have an MRI ordered.1-4 Historically, less than 1% would have received a scan.1-4 Today, with our exclusive MRI portfolio, you can ensure safe MRI access for the most patients when MR conditions are met.
Medtronic has long been committed to providing cardiac device patients with access to the diagnostic and treatment benefits of MRI. Our portfolio of SureScan™ cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P), cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D), implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), pacing, and insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) systems provides exactly that — safe, full body MRI access.
- No MRI exclusion zone
- SureScan devices and leads that work in any combination
- 1.5T and 3T full body MRI scanning across the portfolio*
*EnRhythm MRI™ pacemaker is only labeled 1.5T MR Conditional.
MRI Need for Pacemaker, ICD, and CRT Patients
*Pacemakers and ICDs: Patient cohorts were matched so both represent a group of patients with the same 1) Gender, 2) Age, 3) Major comorbidities
†CRT-Ds: Data from 2012 were used to project MRI utilization in the CRT patient cohort over 1 year; whereas the actual MRI utilization rate over 1 year was measured in the non-CRT cohort.
