Fiducial Markers

CQ Medical

Accusyte

The Accusyte 3D Fiducial Marking System marks the planes of a soft tissue cavity after a tumor has been removed. The fiducial sutures are used when soft tissue needs to be marked for future medical procedures, such as subsequent radiation therapy. After a biopsy or tumor removal, the Accusyte fiducial sutures are sewn around the perimeter of the tumor bed at the anterior, posterior, middle, and lateral planes of the tumor cavity. The fiducials allow for accurate delineation of target volumes during treatment planning and assist with image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) before each session. The fiducial markers are woven within an absorbable suture. When the body absorbs the suture, the fiducial markers remain within the tissue. Migration of the markers from their original position is unlikely, as the tissue produced during the healing process holds the markers in place. Each package contains six sutures, which are sewn into place using the same technique as other sutures commonly used.

Align

Align Markers are 10 mm long to accommodate localization software systems that utilize linear fiducials as opposed to multiple segment points.

BioXmark Liquid Fiducial Marker

The liquid nature of BioXmark enables implantation of multiple markers of varying sizes in the same uninterrupted procedure. Following implantation, sticky and soft markers form, adapting to the surrounding tissue* and remaining visible under relevant imaging, including MRI. BioXmark markers are non-metallic and have low levels of artifacts and low-dose perturbation. These qualities support precise treatment planning and image-guided treatment, including proton therapy. Achieve CT and MRI image acquisitions while ensuring streamlined workflows and low risk of complications, all without specialized equipment.

Bone Markers

Bone Markers are 99.9% pure gold 2 mm spheres recommended for head and neck applications. They are typically placed in a small hole in the bone and sealed with bone wax, with minimal marker migration.

CQ Medical

Coupled Markers

Coupled Markers are 3 mm long with either 0.8 or 1.0 mm diameters attached at a fixed distance, 20 mm apart from center to center. They are secured with a sterile, tissue-absorbable material. This ensures that the markers are implanted at a known distance for calculating precise localization.

CyberMark

CyberMark Markers were developed specifically for use with Accuray's CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system. The gold marker measures 5 mm long and 1 mm in diameter, as specified in the CyberKnife software.

FlexiCoil™

The FlexiCoil Marker is a unique, non-migrating marker with solid end points. FlexiCoil provides a unique image with two nodes that clearly define the end points.

CQ Medical

FlexiMarc™ G/T

The FlexiMarc G/T Marker provides distinctive non-biological projection with easily definable nodes. The gold nodes are connected with a fine titanium line, which creates the optimal performance characteristics and visualization.

FusionCoil SBRT Kit

Cartridge Kits reduce the number of needle passes and minimize the chance of Edema or Pneumothorax.

CQ Medical

FusionCoil™

The FusionCoil Marker images equally as well in CT as it does in MRI. It consists of an open spiral gold coil with a special biocompatible alloy core that appears as a solid black dot in MRI. This is the first of its kind, providing superior reference for image fusion as well as precise IGRT.

CQ Medical

Gold Soft Tissue Markers

Gold Soft Tissue Markers are 99.9% pure gold cylinders specially knurled to inhibit migration. They are 3 mm long and 0.8, 0.9, 1.2 or 1.6 mm in diameter. They are available loose or in sterilized preloaded needles.

CQ Medical

PointCoil SBRT Kit

Cartridge Kits reduce the number of needle passes and minimize the chance of Edema or Pneumothorax.

CQ Medical

PointCoil™

The PointCoil Marker is a 5mm long helical coil that provides a single unique point for IGRT. The helical design maximizes stability and minimizes artifact.

CQ Medical

PolyMark™

The PolyMark Marker is the first biocompatible polymer-based marker. It minimizes artifact, is visible using kV based IGRT solutions, MRI and is optimized for Proton Therapy.

Suture-Type Markers

Suture-Type Markers are designed for high accuracy breast tumor localization. The 99.9% pure gold spheres with small central holes are readily sutured in place to provide a permanent localization solution. They are prethreaded on absorbable sutures.
