Radiopaque markers represent that a lead is suitable for a particular medical procedure such as a magnetic resonance image scan and are added to the lead or related device. The markers may be added after implantation of the lead in various ways including suturing, gluing, crimping, or clamping a radiopaque tag to the lead or to the device. The markers may be added by placing a radiopaque coil about the lead, and the radiopaque coil may radially contract against the lead to obtain a fixed position. The markers may be added by placing a polymer structure onto the lead where the polymer structure includes a radiopaque marker within it. The polymer structure may include a cylindrical aperture that contracts against the lead to fix the position of the polymer structure. The polymer structure may form a lead anchor that includes suture wings that can be sutured to the lead. 1. An implantable medical system comprising:an implantable medical device comprising a case;a lead connected to the implantable medical device;a radiopaque marker; anda structure that affixes the radiopaque marker in a fixed position relative to the implantable medical device on an outside surface of the implantable medical device.2. The implantable medical system of claim 1 , wherein the lead includes a filar.3. The implantable medical system of claim 2 , wherein the lead comprises a shield.4. The implantable medical system of claim 3 , wherein the radiopaque marker indicates that the shield is present. The present application claims priority to and incorporates by reference the following, each as if rewritten herein in its entirety: U.S. Provisional Application 61/174,204 filed on Apr. 30, 2009; U.S. Provisional Application 61/174,216 filed on Apr. 30, 2009; U.S. Provisional Application 61/174,224 filed on Apr. 30, 2009; U.S. Provisional Application 61/174,234 filed on Apr. 30, 2009; U.S. Provisional Application 61/174,247 filed on Apr. 30, 2009; U.S. Provisional Application 61/174,254 filed on Apr. ...
