Abstract
The invention is directed to an anchor marker that is secured to adjacent tissue in order to prevent or minimize displacement of the marker and a method of delivering such a marker to a patient's body cavity such as a cavity in a patient's breast after a biopsy or lumpectomy. The anchor marker has an anchor element and a marker element which is secured to the anchor element. The anchor element penetrates into surrounding tissue and secures the marker from movement. The marker element is remotely imagable by ultrasound, x-ray, MRI and the like and preferably has incorporated imagable material to facilitate such imaging.
