Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3602139
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and apparatus for locating an internal injury. The apparatus includes a marker that is temporarily positionable at an external location adjacent the internal injury. The marker is formed of a material that is visible on an X-ray, magnetic resonance image, ultrasonic image, or other device for imaging the internal injury. The method includes the steps of positioning a marker at an external location adjacent an internal injury, simultaneously visualizing the marker and the internal injury, and marking an approximate external location corresponding to the internal injury. Where X-rays are used for simultaneously visualizing the marker and the internal injury, the X-ray is used to map the approximate external location corresponding to the internal injury.
