Conclusion: The Gold Anchors implantation is small invasive and safe method. The risk of side effects appearance is low. English, translation from Polish articlePolish original
Conclusion: The gold seed markers can be seen clearly using the clinical 3DCBCT and 4DCBCT protocol which means the seeds can be used clinically to track the tumour position using XVI at the point of treatment delivery. S:t James’s Hospital, Leeds, UK, 2011
Conclusion: Increasingly, we must be certain of exact localization of tumor targets by using markers and IGRT. The fine-needle marker presented here allows implantation into almost any tumor site with minimal risks of internal bleeding, infection or pneumothorax and can be implanted safely and precisely using guidance with ultrasound or CT. The Gold Anchor™ is […]
Conclusion: The patient positioning using 2D/2D kV and Gold Anchors increases the setup precision and enables to reduce margins. Because the prostate motion during the course of radiotherapy can be significant, margins for the PTV should include the intrafraction prostate mobility. Poster at ESTRO 2010, poster #1674
Conclusion: It is feasible to use gold anchor marker for Cyberknife. Ball shape or Tadpole gold anchor markers are recommended. Visual confirmation of lock-on is important due to the irregular shape of gold anchor markers. More study is needed to evaluate clinical effect. Presentation at the 2011 CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery Summit
Conclusion: Positioning of the target with orthogonal images or CBCT with the Gold Anchor fiducial marker insertion is intuitive and easily accomplished for safe positioning. Excellent accuracy and precision can be achieved without the need of positioning patients in stereotactic whole body frames. The total cost of treatments with the Gold Anchor technique is less […]
Conclusion: The position of the Gold Anchor™ fiducial marker in the prostate gland is stable, the marker remaining within the gland volume. The period of marker stabilization is less than the 7 days recommended by the manufacturer. We suggest that virtual simulation of the patient can be performed immediately after marker implantation.

Conclusion: The new MRI compatible Gold Anchor™ adds new features on top of the existing advantages. For specific anatomical targets treatment planning with fiducial marker information can be performed based only on MR images. For other targets images from both MRI and CT can be matched through the information from the fiducials. The content of […]
