PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging marker which can easily be buried when a catheter is manufactured, and to provide the catheter.SOLUTION: This imaging marker 4C is a cylindrical member which can grip the position of the distal end section 21 of the catheter 1. The imaging marker 4C has an exposed section where a part of the outer peripheral surface 44 of the imaging marker 4C is exposed at two different locations in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface 23 of the catheter 1, or a part of the inner peripheral surface 41 of the imaging marker 4C is exposed at least at two different locations in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 25 of the catheter 1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】カテーテルを製造する際に容易に埋設することができる造影マーカおよびカテーテルを提供すること。【解決手段】造影マーカ4Cは、カテーテル1の先端部21の位置を把握し得る筒状をなす部材である。この造影マーカ4Cは、カテーテル1の外周面23の周方向の異なる2箇所で造影マーカ4Cの外周面44の一部が露出しているかまたはカテーテル1の内周面25の周方向の異なる少なくとも2箇所で造影マーカ4Cの内周面41の一部が露出した露出部を有する。【選択図】図1
