Does anyone know where I can buy disposable L and R markers to place on the patients skin that do not produce artifacts on the image? Bleekley used to make these but have discontinued them. Thanks.

Hi,

Why why why you keep markers on a patient in the first place?

If you are entering the data corrctly the image produced will show exactly which side is which.

You may need markers for
1. Biopsies ( we use needles)
2. Surgical out lines for certail superficial lesions.
3.RT palnning.

I don't understand why you need L and R markers. (You are doing an axial study, or a volume study).
