Interior of stents may be seen with MRI technology.(TESTING/ANALYSIS)
Advanced Materials & Processes, September, 2005
Stent technology enabling accurate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in or around metallic stents inside the body has reportedly been developed by Biophan Technologies Inc., Rochester, N.Y. MRI has not been able to visualize the interior of metallic stents up to now, because current generations of stents create image artifacts and do not allow visualization.
The new technology uses a special design and unique material. Biophan's newly licensed solution is designed to enable noninvasive, safer, less costly, and more useful MRI-based imaging of stent interiors and the adjacent vessel walls. One possible additional advantage is that molecular research on the effects and physiology of drug eluting stents could be carried out noninvasively by MRI. For more...
