Fiducial markings are placed on a patient to identify surgical parameters such as locations for an incision or a surgical closure. A tool is provided to apply markings to a patient, the tool comprising an energy source 704 configured to induce a modification of a energy-responsive material 702 on the body, and controller circuitry to direct said energy source. The energy source 704 may produce electromagnetic energy, or a particle beam. |
