Meet the Pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small device that helps your heart beat at the right pace.
Old pacemakers weren't friends with MRI machines, but many new ones are!
Always ask your doctor if your pacemaker is safe for an MRI.
Some MRIs have special settings just for people with pacemakers.
The big magnet in an MRI can mess with a pacemaker if it's not ready.
Your doctor might check your pacemaker before the MRI to make sure it's okay.
During the scan, doctors will watch your heart closely.
It's okay to feel a bit nervous, but the doctors are there to keep you safe!
