Radioopaque markers

Radioopaque markers are small, identifiable objects made of materials that do not allow X-rays to pass through easily, such as metal or certain plastics. They are used in medical imaging to mark or highlight specific areas within the body, like surgical sites or regions of interest. When X-rays are taken, these markers show up clearly on the images, helping healthcare professionals locate, assess, or navigate within the body accurately. They are commonly used in procedures like biopsies, dental work, or gastrointestinal studies. Radioopaque markers improve visualization and accuracy in diagnosis and treatment planning.
