Abstract:ObjectiveWe developed fiducial imaging‐guidance markers for the prostate with less imaging artifacts than currently commercially available markers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the imaging artifacts and potential usefulness and safety of these novel fiducial imaging markers in preclinical experiments.MethodsWe selected specific metal materials and a shape that can minimize artifacts in line with a license we obtained for a metal with a gold‐platinum (Au‐Pt) alloy composition that maximized artifact‐fr… Show more
