title: Technical note: a simple method for skin/lesion localization using magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: We have made a series of gadolinium filled tubes which are used as a series of skin markers when imaging the spine. We have found this device particularly useful for imaging the thoracic spine in cases of cord compression.
