Abstract
The invention provides devices and methods for aneurysm treatment using a material that minimizes susceptibility artifacts in MRA images. Since images are not obscured by susceptibility artifacts associated with the aneurysm treatment device, those images are useful and reliable for evaluating the success of treatment. The material is preferably a non-ferromagnetic metal alloy and may include one or a combination of cobalt, nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. In certain embodiments, the material is a 35Cobalt-35Nickel-20Chromium-10Molybdenum-Low Titanium alloy medical-grade material.
