Fiducial Markers
ABGT offers a wide range of fiducial markers for any location — from Gold Anchor™ to non-metallic PolyMark™, as well as Knurled (conventional), FlexiMarc™, FusionCoil™, and PointCoil™ models. They ensure visibility on CT, MRI, MV, and kV imaging, with minimal displacement, no migration, and no interference with imaging or treatment.
High-precision options are available for IGRT, SBRT, proton therapy, and reliable image fusion across all modalities. Contact us to choose the marker best suited for your clinical case.
Gold Anchor™- Fine Needle Marker
Gold Anchor™- is a high precision fiducial marker with superior tissue attachment, less artifacts and low impact on dose distribution. It comes preloaded in 25G and 22G needles (the thinnest on the market) and, since it is a passive marker, it can be implanted in different shapes according to implantation technique – i.e., line, ball, or bell shaped.
Due to its reduced size it can be implanted in any organ, while ensuring reduced patient discomfort. Gold Anchor™- markers are compatible with all major imaging techniques and their high-end specs make them ideal for treatment techniques such as:
- TrueBeam Auto-Beam-Hold
- Frameless SBRT
- Proton treatments
- CyberKnife treatments
- Tomotherapy treatments
News!!
The Gold Anchor MR+ markers are made from an alloy composed of 98.5% pure gold and 1.5% pure iron.
This change allows for greater visibility in MR, especially in T2-weighted images, which drives to a better image fusion between CT and MR.
PolyMark™
PolyMark™ are the first polymer-based markers. These markers are ideal for kV based IGRT. There is virtually no CT artifact and they are visible in MR. The PolyMark has a spiral-cut surface to inhibit migration.
Knurled™
Cylinder markers which are made of pure gold with specially knurled format to inhibit migration.
They are 3mm long and 1.0 or 1.2mm in diameter. Available in sterilized preloaded needles specially marked for depth placement and with other characteristics for easy insertion.
FlexiMarc™
FlexiMarc™ is the first node-based implanted marker. They are designed specifically to produce an image that is easily recognized by the human eye and IGRT software. These markers are fabricated of pure gold and their shape inhibits migration.
FlexiMarc G/T ™
Based on the same principles as FlexiMarc™️, the new FlexiMarc G/T™️ uses a radiopaque titanium connector, as opposed to the traditional gold connector of the earlier version.
FlexiCoil™
FlexiCoil Markers were designed with the same advantages as FlexiMarc but the nodes are placed inside a pure gold coil. These nodes provide clearly definable endpoints for this flexible marker.
PointCoil™
PointCoil™ markers are optimal in situations where the end user requires a single point. They are fabricated of a 5mm gold coil with one single central node.
