METALLIC IMPLANT COMPRISING A HOUSING AND AN INNER OR OUTER SHIELD FOR REDUCED SECONDARY ELECTRON GENERATION

摘要

An implant (201) includes a housing (103) and at least one electronic component (105). The housing is made of a first material and has an outer surface and an inner surface. A shield (208) is positioned within the housing proximate the inner surface, the shield made of a second material. The second material has an atomic number greater than the atomic number of the first material.
