Imaging findings

Radiographs of the chest zoom in on a cardiac pacemaker generator, demonstrating a specific marker consisting of a distinctive loop or curly-cue electrode pattern on the device casing.

Key takeaways

Identifying specific cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) on radiography is crucial for determining MRI compatibility. For example, the Medtronic Revo MRI SureScan pacemaker has a unique radiopaque curly-cue marker that can be recognized on zoomed-in chest radiographs to confirm it is safe for MRI under specific conditions.
