new mri machines

I am getting my first pacemaker next month and talked with the dr. about getting the mri compatible pacemaker and he said that some (read- very few) hospitals are now getting mri machines that it doesn't matter if you have a pacemaker or not. My hospital doesn't have one yet, but at least they are coming up with these machines!! :-)
