Radiographic identification and interpretation. The strata ii valve allows the physician to non invasively adjust the pressure flow performance level pre and post implantation without the need for radiographic confirmation in order to address changing patient needs. Extensive testing of the strata valve was conducted using mri with a static magnetic field capacity of 3 0 tesla.
