Radiopaque markers

Radiopaque markers are materials used in medical imaging that appear visible on X-rays or other imaging scans because they block radiation. These markers help doctors identify specific areas in the body, such as organs or abnormal growths, by creating contrast against surrounding tissues. They're often used in procedures like surgeries or imaging studies to ensure accurate localization. Radiopaque markers can be made from materials like barium or iodine, which are safe for use in the body. Overall, they enhance the clarity and precision of medical images, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
