IMPLANTABLE PARTICLE APPARATUS

摘要

An implantable stent (10) which contains a tube, several optical emitters (30) located on the inner surface (26) of the tube, and several optical detectors (32) located on the inner surface (26) of the tube. The optical emitters (30) radiate energy with a wavelength of from about 30 nanometers to about 30 millimeters, and the optical detectors (32) receive energy with a wavelength of from about 30 nanometers to about 30 millimeters.
