Claim:
1. A system comprising a processor configured to: automatically obtain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatibility information relating to compatibility of an active implantable medical device (AIMD) implantable in a patient with an MRI modality from at least two information sources, wherein the at least two information sources comprise at least one of a first information source associated with a patient programmer or a second information source associated with the AIMD, wherein the patient programmer is configured to communicate with the AIMD, and wherein the MRI compatibility information comprises at least one of an implant date of the AIMD, an implant revision date of the AIMD, a serial number of the AIMD, a model number of the AIMD, a registration number of the AIMD, a manufacturer of the AIMD, an implant location of the AIMD, a serial number of a lead coupled to the AIMD, a model number of the lead coupled to the AIMD, a registration number of the lead coupled to the AIMD, an implant location of the lead coupled to the AIMD, a manufacturer of the lead, a presence of an orphaned lead implanted in the body and not coupled to the AIMD, or a presence of another implantable medical device implanted in the patient; automatically determine compatibility of the AIMD with the MRI modality based on the MRI compatibility information; and in response to a determination that the AIMD is incompatible with the MRI modality, output an indication that the AIMD is incompatible with the MRI modality, wherein the indication is configured to cause a MRI scan to be refused.
