Gold Anchor™ marker for IGRT, a new fiducial for high-precision radiotherapy

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 […]

Clinical Implications of a Novel, Iron-containing Fiducial Marker in Radiotherapy for Liver Tumors: An Initial Experience

Summary: Gold Anchors were implanted percutaneously under local anesthesia close to liver tumors in four patients at the Meiwa Hospital in Japan. All implantations were successfully performed with no complications. The markers were more visible than the uptake of lipiodol emulsion. The markers were also well detected in CB-CT images in all fractions. Article in […]
