Over the last ten years, imaging has changed. In accordance so have fiducial markers. First we had simple fiducial gold markers. Then we had specialty coils, and now we have MRI markers.

Magnetic Resonance imaging markers. You see our imaging capability and treatments are much more precise these days, which enables us to see tumors more easily and treat tumors more specifically. As we see tumors more easily, we tend to up the dosage to kill these cancer cells. This is called dose escalation and works in accordance with Stereo Tactic Body Radiation. Gold Markers are very useful and are being used in most disease sites.

Now if a physician takes a fiducial marker and makes it visible using MRI. Then the team can fuse the soft tissue, associated with an MRI image, and the CT data, which helps us see the boney anatomy.

The leadership of Five One Star Medical has helped professionals with markers for 10 years. Five One Star Medical is happy to represent Gold Anchor, a very unique fiducial marker, that has MRI visibility. The gold anchor has a composite that makes it visible using MRI technology. Let’s keep getting better.
