I had been scheduled for a follow up mri this year but since i had my pacemaker inplanted this past October I know that can't be done. Any other options? It's for a head/brain scan. Thanks Finn

What In Place Of MRI

I guess there is the Cat-Scan, Pet-Scan or X-Ray. Unlike the MRI these devices do not create the electromagnetic field which is harmful to most pacemakers/defibrillators. Whether these are suitable substitutes or not for a MRI I don't know, but I'm sure your doctor can tell you.
