摘要：
A method includes providing a patch including: a flexible base layer that is mountable on and substantially conformable to a patients body surface, the base layer having opposed upper and lower primary surfaces a flexible substrate that is releasably attached to the upper primary surface of the base layer and substantially conformable to the patients body surface and at least one MRI-visible fiducial element defined by or secured to the flexible substrate. The method further includes: securing the base layer to the body surface to mount the patch on the body surface such that the flexible substrate conforms to the body surface MRI scanning the patient with the patch on the body surface to generate corresponding image data identifying a physical location on the body surface using the image data and removing the flexible substrate from the base layer.
