A novel method for detecting and recording movement and functional performance of cardiac valve prostheses exposed to the static magnetic field associated with magnetic resonance imaging

Aging and disease processes are known to compromise tissue strength and consequently increase the risk of harmful movement or detachment of a heart valve prosthesis in vivo when exposed to strong magnetic forces associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Research however, has failed to fully...
