Analysing the effects of metallic biomaterial design and imaging sequences on MRI interpretation challenges due to image artefacts.

Biometals cause signal loss and susceptibility artefacts in the surrounding tissue, resulting in deterioration in magnetic resonance (MR) images. This metal-artefact effect may lead to interpretation challenges for MR images. Therefore, artefact reduction is required to obtain higher-quality images.

Influences of Stent Design on In-Stent Restenosis and Major Cardiac Outcomes: A Scoping Review and Meta-Analysis.

Thanks to the developments in implantable biomaterial technologies, invasive operating procedures, and widespread applications especially in vascular disease treatment, a milestone for interventional surgery was achieved with the introduction of vascular stents. Despite vascular stents providing a solution for embolisms, this technology includes various challenges, such as mechanical, electro-chemical complications, or in-stent restenosis (ISR) risks with long-term usage. Therefore, further development of biomaterial technologies is vital to overcome such risks and problems.
