Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for radioscopic visualization of the positioning of an expandable body in an interior body region are described. One such system includes a radiopaque marking pattern in communication with the expandable body. The radiopaque marking pattern can be configured to allow for visualizing radioscopically the orientation and movement of the expandable body in unexpanded and expanded states in an interior body region. Such a device is useful for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, including, for example, providing cavities in interior body regions.
