Use of a reusable shielded marker to enhance the accuracy, safety, and efficacy of nuclear medicine procedures.

No other nuclear medicine marker is available with a shutter mechanism designed to interrupt radiation, thus protecting the patient and technologist from unnecessary radiation and minimizing image artifacts.
