title: A skin MR-marker for radiation treatment planning.
abstract: After experiences with fluid filled tubes a gel fitted with an adhesive has been developed, to reproducibly markate treatment ports on the patient's skin. A gel is chosen, that hinders loss of the fluid and smoothly fits to the skin surface due to the adhesive. The clinical use of the gel hopefully will help with the use of NMR image information in radiotherapy treatment planning.
