Radiological image markers are implantable devices placed inside the body to create visible reference points on X‑ray, MRI, or nuclear medicine scans. Clinically, they help physicians locate and outline tumours, lesions, or other sites of interest so that treatment can be targeted more precisely. The marker itself is usually a small wire, bead, clip, or fluid that is compatible with the imaging system being used.
These devices are supplied as single‑unit implantables and are regulated according to the definition of an implantable radiological marker. Their design and material composition are chosen to ensure they are visible on the intended imaging modality, and they may be used during radiotherapy procedures to guide treatment.
