Implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A stent assembly comprised of a metallic stent with an interior cavity and an exterior surface, wherein biological matter is disposed within said interior cavity, wherein, when such exterior surface Is simultaneously subjected to an input alternating current electromagnetic field with a frequency of from about 1 megahertz to about 3 terahertz and a static magnetic field of from about 0.1 to about 30 Tesla, such input alternating current electromagnetic field contacts the biological matter and produces an output signal that is disposed outside of said exterior surface and that has a fixed phase relationship with the Input signal, and wherein the ratio of the magnitude of said output signal that is disposed outside of said exterior surface to the magnitude of said input alternating current electromagnetic field is at least about 0.01.

Abstract
A metallic stent that, when it is contacted with an input alternating current electromagnetic field and a static magnetic field that contacts biological matter located within the stent, an output signal is produced that that has a fixed phase relationship with the input signal and that has a magnitude that is at least about 0.01 times as great as the magnitude of the input signal.
