Gold Markers. In cranial cases, three markers are implanted in the skull; in extracranial cases, one-to-three markers are implanted directly at the target site.

Bone. The bone markers are pure gold spheres. They are placed during a simple 20-minute outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. Tools to facilitate marker placement include drill bits, guides, and a tool for holding the marker during implantation.

Soft tissue. The soft tissue marker surface is specially treated to prevent migration after implantation. The markers are implanted under ultrasound or CT guidance using special NMPE needles.

What are customers say...
Virginia Mason Medical Center and NMPE have been partners for many years in the development and improvement of cancer care techniques. We have used implanted gold markers and the ISOLOC software to achieve high precision localization for over ten years. We are excited about the new ISOLOC 5.0 software that interfaces directly with the Portal Vision work- station. Our technical staff is able to setup patients to a 1mm tolerance in less than five minutes.
