Some facilities can handle it, some will not. You might have to do some research and check with his ep, but it can safely be done on most any device/leads less than 10 years old.

Robo has a good point. My EP told me to go to a hospital, rather than an "MRI in a box" if I ever need an MRI. Hospital staff are trained on the proticols and will have a PM tech available if needed.

All pacemakers made in recent years are MRI compatible but if you're really paranoid (or just a geek), look up the manual online.
