Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a medicinal implant or instrument, more particularly to a vascular endoprosthesis, having a radially dilatable hose part comprised of a tubular knitted fabric of interdigitating meshes composed of one or more individual fibres. To provide such an implant or instrument that allows for MR-imaging of the interior of the implant or instrument, the invention proposes that the fibres of the knitted fabric be electrically conductive and form an inductor within a high-frequency resonant circuit.
