After the stent is installed, MRI is usually performed.
MRI is a method that uses a strong external magnetic field to generate magnetic resonance phenomenon with hydrogen nuclei in the human body to determine whether there is a lesion in the examined site. For patients with heart stents, the materials of heart stents are mainly non-magnetic substances such as nickel-titanium alloy and cobalt-chromium alloy. Therefore, when patients undergo MRI examination, MRI generally does not react with the installed materials, so it usually does not affect the examination results. Patients can be examined safely.
