M. Hayes et al., Use of a reusable shielded marker to enhance the accuracy, safety, and efficacy of nuclear medicine procedures, CLIN NUCL M, 25(5), 2000, pp. 354-357
Three cases illustrate the use of a reusable, shielded marker to identify a
natomic structures and mark pathologic lesions. No other nuclear medicine m
arker is available with a shutter mechanism designed to interrupt radiation
, thus protecting the patient and technologist from unnecessary radiation a
nd minimizing image artifacts.
