ABSTRACT:
Radiopaque marker and method for use in nuclear medicine imaging, (particularly with X-ray radiology) of soft tissue landmarks of a patient's body. The radiopaque marker includes a spherical ball of radiopaque material attached to an adhesive sheet which is positioned on a sheet of release film. Radiopaque markers are removed from the release film and applied to soft tissue landmarks on the patient. The patient's body, with the radiopaque markers, is then imaged, e.g. with X-ray radiology. The radiopaque markers leave circular shadows on the X-ray film, regardless of the contours of the portion of the body to which the radiopaque markers are applied, and can be used to accurately mark soft tissue landmarks.
