MR-compatible vascular endoprosthesis

摘要

The invention relates to a medicinal implant or instrument, more particularly to a vascular endoprosthesis ( 1 ), having a radially dilatable hose part ( 2 ) comprised of a tubular knitted fabric of interdigitating meshes composed of one or more individual fibres ( 9 ). To provide such an implant or instrument that allows for MR-imaging of the interior of the implant or instrument, the invention proposes that the fibres ( 9 ) of the knitted fabric be electrically conductive and form an inductor ( 7, 8 ) within a high-frequency resonant circuit.
