Abstract: A mammography pad for use with a mammography unit for providing comfort to a patient during a mammography examination. The mammography pad includes a flexible substrate configured to overlie a bucky plate, a compressible material and a fastening means. The mammography pad is capable of covering a top and front surface of the compression plate, while the fastening means removably attaches a portion of the mammography pad to the mammography unit. Further, a method for administering a mammography examination with the mammography pad is disclosed by providing a mammography pad, securing the pad to the mammography unit, placing a patient's breast on the mammography pad, and compressing the patient's breast against the mammography pad.

Abstract: Radiation therapy skin markers used to delineate radiation therapy portal areas of a patient to be treated with radiation are described. The radiation therapy skin marker includes comprises a substrate having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface of the substrate is lined with an ink to facilitate the outlining of the treatment field. The second surface is coated with an adhesive layer which is protected by release liner.

Abstract: A radiation therapy skin marking device which may be used to delineate a radiation therapy portal area on a patient's skin surface. The device includes a set of radiation therapy skin markers which are releasably attached to a backing liner and include an adhesive surface such that the markers may be releasably attached to a patient's skin surface. The markers include ink-printed lines on the adhesive surface so as to facilitate radiation therapy treatments by more obviously defining a radiation therapy portal area. Ink is transferred onto the skin surface from the adhesive surface by depositing it onto the skin or by absorption into the skin so that the marking lines are delineated on the skin surface when the markers are detached.
