Medical device with markers for magnetic resonance visibility

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to medical devices that provide a suitable disturbance of medical resonance images taken of the devices in order to enhance the visibility of the devices. In one embodiment, paramagnetic and/or ferromagnetic material is applied to a support structure of a device. The magnetic materials provide a suitable distortion of MRI images such that the device (or portions thereof) are easily visible and detectable.
