ETMC Tyler was recently the site of the first East Texas implantation of an MRI-friendly pacemaker,
which allows magnetic resonance imaging as a diagnostic option for patients whose hearts need electrical correction. Called the Revo MRIT SureScanR pacing system from Medtronic, it is the first system designed, tested and FDA-approved for use in an MRI environment.
