Specialty Fiducial Markers

Fleximarc G/T

Fleximarc G/T is the perfect solution for clinicians who wish to combine the positioning assurance and deployment speed of a pre-spaced marker with the enhanced MRI visibility of Titanium. Fleximarc G/T consists of two 1.2mm x 3mm gold nodes separated by a thin, medical grade titanium filament optimized for MRI visibility. This unique shape allows soft tissue to anchor the marker in place, greatly reducing the probability of marker migration. Each Fleximarc G/T is preloaded in a 17Ga 20cm needle individually supplied in its own sterile Tyvek pouch. Each marker provides two clearly visible discreet points for image-guided localization or intrafractional tumor tracking with only one needle insertion

  • Titanium spacer with magnetic susceptibility of .0001807 (v. -3.44 x 10^-5 for gold) for enhanced MRI visibility
  • One needle, two pre-spaced markers
  • Defined marker spacing inhibits migration and promotes accurate identification/tracking
  • Visible in MRI, CT, CBCT, kV, MV/EPID, and ultrasound
  • Easily tracked in Accuray’s Synchrony or Varian Auto Beam Hold (ABH)
  • A great option for SpaceOAR cases due to less needle insertions and recommended MRI image fusion

Stranded Gold Markers

CTS’s stranded fiducial markers consist of two 1.0mm x 3.0mm gold markers separated by a bioabsorbable spacer, providing a 2.0cm center-to-center marker spacing. This configuration offers the benefit of two sterile markers preloaded into each 18-gauge needle, yielding a fixed marker spacing perfect for prostate CBCT alignment and motion tracking with less needle sticks for the patient.

  • Bioabsorbable spacer naturally adheres to tissue, inhibiting marker occlusion and migration

  • Inherently stable, linear design

  • Less image artifact than standard 1.2mm markers

  • Spacer ensures consistent marker spacing for easy pre-treatment identification and intrafractional tracking

  • Clearly visible in kV, MV, CBCT, CT, and ultrasound

  • Easily tracked in Accuray’s Synchrony or Varian Auto Beam Hold (ABH)
