Features useful for locating a medical implant in a patient in a non-invasive manner are described. Such features may include an integrated port with a housing that includes a first portion coupled to a second portion, wherein the first portion and the second portion comprise different materials, and a cover over an opening into the housing. The first portion may face the cover and allow transmission of electromagnetic signals through the first portion, the first portion being between the second portion and the cover; and the second portion may prevent transmission of electromagnetic signals through the second portion in a direction away from the cover.
