Carbon Bright - Fiducial Marker
Bright imaging characteristics make this marker easy to identify through dense tissue. This marker has the attributes of gold with the benefit of the biocompatible carbon-coating.
Carbon Medical Technologies (CMT) manufactures various fiducial markers to meet the specific needs of our customers to enhance accuracy and efficiency during radiation therapy. Our unique pyrolytic carbon coating technology provides exceptional biocompatibility for permanent medical implants.
The unique carbon coating and composition of the core materials is compatible with all forms of radiation therapy and provides maximum versality for modalities and treatments such as IGRT/IMRT, Proton Therapy, CT, MRI and portal imaging. Areas marked with BiomarC fiducial markers provide clear, visual landmarks with no uncertainty between healthy tissue and the target area.
BiomarC Fiducial Markers Characteristics:
- Lesion localization
- Marking surgical sites or margin areas
- Confirmation of tumor shrinkage and final excision of the cancerous tissue
- Marking tumors at the time of diagnosis
Carbon Medical Technologies strength lies in the ability to customize product design to meet the needs of a wide range of fiducial marker applications.
