Risks

The presence of metal in your body may be a safety hazard or affect a part of the MRE image. Before receiving an MRI exam such as MRE, tell the technologist if you have any metal or electronic devices in your body, such as:

• Metallic joint prostheses
• Artificial heart valves
• Implantable heart defibrillator
• Pacemaker
• Metal clips
• Cochlear implants
• Bullet, shrapnel or any other type of metal fragment

Before you schedule an MRE, tell your doctor if you think you're pregnant.
