SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGING AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING |
摘要 |
A method for imaging an implantable device is described. The method may include positioning an implantable device within a patient. Ultrasonic energy may be transmitted toward the implantable device. The returning ultrasonic energy may be analyzed to determine a first characteristic of the implantable device. A method for manufacturing an implantable device is also described. The method may include selecting a first size dimension for a plurality of ultrasonically visible portions. The method may further include selecting a first spacing dimension for the plurality of ultrasonically visible portions. An implantable device may be formed. The plurality of ultrasonically visible portions may be formed into the first outer surface. An implantable device is also described. The implantable device may include a first outer surface. The first outer surface may include a first ultrasonically visible portion having a first size dimension.
