Where's your stimulator? Can't they just put your foot in the MRI machine?

I have only done once since the surgery but have unfortunately had quite a few MRIs and don't believe it would matter if it was in a Hospital or a independent MRI clinic. I will note I live in the states so don't know how tjat correlates to where you are.

My Stimulator is in my left side above the buttons. Concerning doing an MRI of just the foot, I am not an expert but don't know why they would do more than your foot as it moves you in and out of the machine as needed.

You can only find the MRI that would do it in a hospital
Local places are not equiped for it

Local MRI's won't do it, only the hospitals will,
