Before having any tests, be sure to tell the doctor treating you that you have a stent. Mammography, CT scanning, x-rays and nuclear stress tests are considered safe for people with stents. However, if you need magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the technician will need to operate the machine within certain limits.
