Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008531161
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A medical device with metal parts to be introduced into animal or human bodies, is rendered visible during NMR imaging by covering the exterior surface of the metal parts with a layer comprising Nickel monoxide (NiO); within a given frequency range of an electromagnetic field, said layer substantially reduces the disturbance induced in said field in the vicinity of said metal part. The invention is chiefly related to endoprostheses for subjects or patients, which will be submitted to NMR imaging. In particular, the invention is aimed at luminal endoprostheses comprising a metal frame, as stents.
