� Contraindication� Patients cannot have halter monitors, telemetry units,
nerve stimulation units or a IV pump in the magnet room
� If have a heart pacemaker or pacing wires, cerebalaneurysm or Swan Ganz catheter cannot have an MRI aneurysm or Swan Ganz catheter cannot have an MRI under any circumstances!
� Pregnancy is a contraindication and will require patient consent for an MRI.
� All other history of metal fragments in the eye require orbit screening x-rays prior to your MRI.
� All other history of implants or surgery must be indicated to the technologist. The make and model of implants may be necessary (i.e. ear implants, heart valve replacements).

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)� A tiny ultrasound wand is attached to a
catheter. This ultrasound catheter is inserted into an artery in your groin area and moved up to the heart.and moved up to the heart.
� A computer measures how the sound waves reflect off blood vessels, and changes the sound waves into pictures.
� IVUS gives the health care provider a look at coronary arteries from the inside-out.
CLDomocmat 8/9/2012 132
IVUS
� IVUS is almost always done at the end of angioplasty with stent placement, or coronary catheterization. Angioplasty gives a general look at the coronary arteries, but it cannot show the walls of the arteries. IVUS images show the artery walls and can reveal cholesterol and fat deposits (plaques). Buildup of these deposits can increase your risk of a heart attack.
� IVUS has provided a lot of insight into how stents become clogged (stent restenosis).
