VISICOIL™ Applications |
VISICOIL is a general-purpose implanted fiducial marker. The marker is indicated for use to radiographically mark soft tissue for future theraputic procedures, per the US FDA approved 510(K).
Currently, the device has been developed for use in marking the prostate and periprostatic tissue.
Other potential organs that may benefit from VISICOIL include:
- Liver
- Breast
- Cervix
- Lungs
- Tongue
- Esophagus
By design, the VISICOIL markers are made to facilitate:
- Patient positioning in focused field radiation therapies such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), conformal radiation therapy (CRT) and proton therapy, etc.
- Defining the boundary of the prostate in brachytherapy, HDR
- Image fusion between MRI and CT or CT and ultrasound.
