ABSTRACT:
A device for marking body sites for imaging medical examinations, such as nuclear spin resonance tomography (NMR), computed tomography (CT), roentgen ray analysis (X-ray), or positron emission tomography (PET), comprises fixtures (10) which are adapted to be fastened to the body and/or to a stereotaxic means or a mask arrangement. Markers (18) containing a substance (20) which provides sharp contrast in the generation of images are adapted to be slid selectively into those fixtures. The fixtures are made of a material which does not disturb the imaging, with at least two different imaging examination procedures.
