Specifically, our aim was to highlight emerging evidence which suggests that patients with some \u2018legacy\u2019 MR non-conditional devices can now be offered gold standard diagnostic MR imaging when clinically indicated.\u00a0 In terms of MR imaging ILRs, the inadvertent loss or misinterpretation of artefact degraded electrogram data and possible local soft tissue effects pose some potential clinical difficulties, however there are no reported patient MR safety issues.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor, We thank Murray, Bassareo &amp; Gilligan for their interest in our article.
