A person with an ICD should always let their doctor and MRI technician know that they have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator when planning to get an MRI. Most ICDs and leads are designed to be MR conditional, which means specific conditions must be met to get an MRI. Before an ICD patient receives an MRI scan, clinicians should verify that these conditions are met. Consult the ICD’s manufacturer for additional information and recommendations.
