Focusing on the new diagnostic option for CIED patients. Several million patients worldwide currently have implanted pacemaker and ICD systems, during the course of time a sizeable proportion of them will develop a clinical need for MR scan during the lifetime of their devices. Until now, CIED patients were not allowed to undergo MR scans and had to settle for a CT scan instead. Now, pacemaker and even defibrillator patients can be given an MR scan.
