 BiomarC® Fiducial Marker Instructions for Use

BiomarC®

Our legacy marker is manufactured with our least dense nonmetallic material. It is ideal for Proton therapy producing minimal perturbation of the radiation beam.

BiomarC® Secure

This suture-type marker is designed for unsurpassed accuracy of tumor localization. The precise nature of this marker sutured to the affected tissue allows for the ultimate benefit in precision radiation therapy.

BiomarC® EX

BiomarC EX provides excellent visibility on both kV and MV imaging systems. This precisely sized marker is ideal for localization software systems that rely on soft tissue tracking.

BiomarC® PRO

BiomarC PRO was designed for the specific needs of a proton center. This marker exhibits a balanced tradeoff between contrast and artifact along with low perturbation.

BiomarC® Enh

This enhanced marker is designed for customers who like the attributes of our legacy maker with enhanced visibility on MRI. It provides a superior reference for MRI image fusion.

Carbon Bright™

Carbon Bright is our newest addition to our line of Carbon Coated Fiducial Markers. Due to its high versatility and superior visibility this marker is an excellent cost-effective alternative to gold markers.

BiomarC® Gold

Fiducial markers made of pure gold knurled to minimize migration. Gold is a high density marker providing good visibility on both MV and kV images.
