A device for marking a treatment isocenter on a patient's body includes a base including alignment indicia; a marker disposed over the base and positioned relative to the indicia for marking the isocenter on the patient's body; and an actuator for actuating the marker and causing a mark indicating the isocenter to be made on the patient's body. The actuator can include a button and a spring coupled to the marker. Compressing the actuator causes the marker to travel through an ink well prior to piercing the patient's skin. The device is disposable as intended for a single use.

An isocenter marker for marking a treatment isocenter on a patient's body. Embodiments include a base, alignment indicia configured for alignment with external alignment sources to facilitate alignment of the base over an isocenter on a patient's body, an ink reservoir in the base, an ink channel in the base, and an actuator assembly attachable to the base. The actuator assembly includes a rupture member to open the ink reservoir and allow ink from the reservoir to flow to the ink channel when the actuator assembly is attached to the base, an ink marker including a needle with a tip configured for movement through the ink channel and positioned relative to the alignment indicia for marking an ink mark indicating the isocenter, and a marker actuator for actuating the ink marker to drive the needle from a retracted position through the ink channel to a marking position.
