Cardiac MRI scans may be unsuitable or require special precautions in certain situations.
* Absolute Contraindications: The scan is not performed for patients who cannot enter the device due to severe claustrophobia. Additionally, it is not recommended for patients with MRI-incompatible metal prostheses, pacemakers, or other electronic devices. If pacemakers or metallic heart valves are MRI-compatible, a detailed evaluation and preparation before the scan are essential.
* Renal Function: In patients with kidney failure, due to the potential risks of contrast agent use, a physician's evaluation before the procedure is mandatory if urea and creatinine levels in blood tests are above a certain level.
* General Precautions: Before the procedure, ensure all removable metals, including metal jewelry and piercings, are removed. Patients must be meticulously questioned about the presence of any implants, prostheses, or electronic devices in their bodies.
