Abstract
Detectable markers that may be introduced into a cavity created by removal o f a biopsy specimen to mark the location of the biopsy site so that it may be located in a subsequent medical/surgical procedure. The markers remain prese nt in sufficient quantity to permit detection and location of the biopsy site a t a first time point (e.g., 2 weeks) after introduction but clear from the biopsy site or otherwise not interfere with imaging of tissues adjacent the biopsy site at a second time point (e.g., 5-7 months) after introduction.</S DOAB>
Claims (24)
1. A detectable marker for marking a site within the body of a mammalian patient from which a tissue sample has been removed, said marker (i) remains present at the site in sufficient quantity to permit detection and location of the site for at least a predetermined first time period after introduction, and (ii) does not interfere with imaging of tissue adjacent the site at a predetermined second time point after introduction.
2. The detectable marker of Claim 1 which is imageable, and wherein the marker remains present at the site in sufficient quantity to allow detection of the site by imaging of the marker at said first time point but clears sufficiently from the site so as to not interfere with imaging of tissue adjacent the site at said second time point.
3. The detectable marker of Claim 2 wherein the marker is detectable by imaging methods selected from a group consisting of X-ray, fluoroscopy, mammography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, Doppler, radiation detector; and combinations thereof.
4. The detectable marker of Claim 1 wherein the marker is detectable by palpation.
5. The detectable marker of Claim 4 wherein the palpable marker is selected from the group consisting of at least one balloon, at least one bead, a flowable space occupying material, a collagenous material, a gelatinous material; gelatin, cross-linked gelatin; and combinations thereof.
6. The detectable marker of Claim 1 wherein the marker is visually detectable.
7. The detectable marker of Claim 6 wherein the visually detectable marker is a colored substance selected from the group consisting of a dye, a colorant, colorant particles, carbon, and combinations thereof.
8. The detectable marker of Claim 1 wherein the detectable marker is detectable by a detection method selected from the group consisting of imaging of the marker, palpation of the marker, visualization of the marker, and combinations thereof.
9. The detectable marker of Claim 1 wherein the detectable marker comprises a detectable material that will interfere with imaging of tissues adjacent thereto and which remains present at the site in sufficient quantity to permit location of the site by imaging until said first time point but clears sufficiently from the site to not interfere with imaging of tissue adjacent the site at said second time point.
10. The detectable marker of Claim 1 wherein the detectable marker comprises a quantity of detectable material that, if introduced into the site alone, would clear from the site such that a detectable quantity of the marker would no longer be present at the site at 2 weeks after introduction of said detectable marker; and a clearance delaying element that delays the clearance of said material from the site such that (i) a detectable quantity of said material remains present at the site until at least said first time point and (ii) said material clears sufficiently from the site to permit imaging of tissue adjacent to the site without interference from said detectable marker at said second time point.
11. The detectable marker of Claim 10 wherein the detectable material is a chemical compound that has a solubility constant of less than 1 x 10-3 grams per 100 cubic centimeters of water.

16. The detectable marker of Claim 1 wherein the detectable marker comprises a dry powder, a sponge, a suspension, or a slurry.
17. The detectable marker of Claim 1 wherein the decectable marker comprises a collagenous or gelatinous material having radiographically imageable matter attached thereto.
18. The detectable marker of Claim 17 herein the collagenous or gelatinous material of the marker comprises renatured collagen or gelatin
19. The detectable marker of Claim 18 wherein the collagenous or gelatinous material is also covalently crosslinked.
20. The detectable marker of Claim 17 wherein the radiographically imageable matter comprises metal ions or a gas.
21. The detectable marker of Claim 17 wherein the collagenous or gelatinous material of the marker comprises renatured collagen or gelatin and the radiographically imageable matter of the marker comprises metal ions that are bound to said renatured collagen.
22. The detectable marker of Claim 21 wherein the metal ions are silver ions.
23. The detectable marker of Claim 20 wherein the marker is prepared by a process that comprises:
a) obtaining a quantity of denatured collagenous or gelatinous material;
b) renaturing the collagenous or gelatinous material; and c) binding metal ions to the renatured collagenous or gelatinous material.
