Abstract
Composite markers employ a gel carrier to carry at least one radiopaque element (e.g., wire or band or clip) and one or more other contrast materials, each detectable by a detection modality different than one another. Methods for forming these composite markers and methods of marking a target site in a mammalian subject employing these composite markers are also discussed herein.
