Soft tissue markers are important for the evaluation of aneuploidy, which includes fetal pyelectasis, thickened nuchal fold, echogenic intracardiac focus, choroid plexus cyst, ventriculomegaly or prostate, liver, pancreas, lung, and breast. Soft tissue markers can be detected by MRI, ultrasound and digital mammography imaging. Soft tissue markers are available in different types, i.e., metallic pellet, clips, hook wires, and radioactive seeds. Soft tissue markers are cylindrical in shape, which enables it to easily penetrate into the body with the help of a needle. Maximum soft tissue markers are made up of Gold as it is very less reactive and prohibit migration. Soft tissue markers are mostly used in Down syndrome and cancer treatment procedures. Soft tissue markers provide higher visibility, accuracy, greater stability in tissues. Soft tissue markers reduce bending problems associated with the injection process. Soft tissue markers can be delivered into the body through a needle, cannula or trocar. Soft tissue markers are less invasive for patients, with better contrast media, versatility and cost reduction.
