Magnetic viewing film?

| I have had a Hakim valve installed for treatment of normal pressure
hydrocephalus. So far, I have had two x-rays taken to verify the valve
setting.
Is it possible to devise a system using magnetic viewing film to determine
the valve setting without using ionizing radiation or other expensive
imaging? Has magnetic viewing film ever been used for medical imaging?

| The valve can be changed by an MRI and after an MRI, it needs to
be checked with an x-ray.
Therefore, your idea won't work.

I know about MRI. That was used to examine my head in the first place. I am
asking about INEXPENSIVE techniques for view an implant that contains
magnetic components. A Hakim valve is one of them and is close to the
surface just under the skin.
