To answer well, it would help me to know some things: What kind of stents and for what purpose? What kind of CT and for what reason? What other tests? Did they explain why they wanted to wait?My son had two stents 6/20/18 and now they want to do CT scan and other tests. At the hospital they had said no more tests for 3 months until the stents were healed or seated. Do you suggest that normally? He has had so many xrays and tests....He should glow in the dark.
For MRI, we no longer identify any cardiac stents, even if they are very new - even our 3T sequences meet their conditions. Other stents must be identified, especially iliac - they tend to be long enough to reach the resonant heating length.
For CT, it shouldn't matter. We even do CTA's soon after EVAR procedures.
