Abstract
The present disclosure provides medical devices having MRI-compatible circuitry. Preferably, the devices do not project an enlarged profile, yet their position can be determined during an iMRI procedure. Illustrative embodiments of such a device can include a base surface, a first conducting layer disposed on the base surface, a first insulating layer disposed over at least a portion of the first conducting layer, and a second conducting layer disposed over at least a portion of the first insulating layer.
Claims17
A method of forming a medical device having MRI-compatible circuitry, comprising:
- providing a base surface;
- and
- printing a first conducting layer on the base surface using an ink containing electrically conductive material to form circuitry that is MRI-compatible.
The method of any preceding claim, further comprising printing at least one conductive winding on the medical device and electrically coupling the at least one conductive winding to at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer.
