Gold Anchor

The Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) technique has been used for over 50 years

Gold Anchor MR+
Gold Anchor has a new marker material that provides even greater MRI visibility, especially on T2-weighted images, which typically are used for prostate delineation.
This helps when fusing CT and MR images and when moving to MR-only workflows.
The marker is made of an alloy of pure gold and 1.5% iron.
