2. Description of the Related Art

The broad concept of garments is known. However, these inventions usually involve providing privacy without exposing skin markers.

The concept of garments that expose something under the garment is also known. However, these inventions are often decorative and not well suited for exposing skin markers that appear in repeated locations regardless of the wearer.

Garments that reveal tattoos are known as well. However, these inventions are usually drawn to the process and nature of revealing the tattoo and are often ornamental. Additionally, skin markers have elements that allow for the alignment of a patient during a medical procedure, which most ornate tattoos lack.

It is also known to use garments for medical procedures. However, these inventions to not repeatedly expose skin markers while protecting the privacy of the patient during the medical procedure.

Additionally, garments for medical procedures that expose treatment areas are known. However, these inventions usually allow for physical entry by a medical device, such as an injection needle or surgical tool, and do not well protect the privacy of the patient and are not intended to facilitate skin markers for viewing and alignment by a technician during a medical procedure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The treatment of cancer has become more prevalent and effective; however, some of these treatments, such as radiation treatment, may require frequent, even daily, treatment to aggressively and successfully address the disease. With some of the most prevalent cancers, such as prostate cancer, colon cancer, rectum cancer, and breast cancer, as well as with other diseases, diagnosis and treatment involves quite invasive procedures, which sacrifice personal privacy. This lack of personal privacy creates more mental stresses, which can impede treatment and recovery. Once a diagnosis has been made, the treatment process includes both localized treatment and spread prevention. Depending on the prognosis, treatment will usually involve either radiation or chemotherapy. Because cancer treatment, especially radiation treatment, often damages any living tissue or cells exposed to the treatment, whether this tissue is cancerous or not, it is desirable to minimize the exposure of healthy tissue to this type of treatment by targeting the treatment at cancerous cells only and avoiding exposure to healthy tissue. In the case of radiation, a detailed CT scan is taken of the area and special implants called fiducial markers are implanted in the patient. These fiducial markers are about the size of a large grain of sand or rice and are usually made of gold so they are visible in scans of any intensity. Because different types of cancers have different treatment areas, these fiducial markers may be placed within a variety of locations on a human body; however, because the fiducial markers are used for alignment to a human body, there is a commonality of location of these markers within a certain range on the human body depending on cancer type and body type of the individual. Once implanted, a tiny tattoo dot, or skin marker, is placed on the skin for visual reference by radiation technicians when aligning the body for treatment. Radiation application must be very precise. Prior to each treatment, the technicians physically align the patient's skin markers using medical devises in the treatment room and administer a low-resolution scan to ensure alignment with the fiducial markers, as well. Medical devices measure the location of these skin markers and fiducial markers and then use them as a reference to accurately and precisely target a different region of the body, which has been previous identified as having cancerous cells. These fiducial markers and skin markers are often located next to or in private areas on patients. During these lengthy, day in and day out treatments, sometimes up to 9-weeks or more, patients must repeatedly disrobe to expose the skin markers and enable the alignment process by the technicians every time. When patients strip down, they may experience humiliation or suffer embarrassment from being unclothed in front of clothed medical personnel, which can negatively affect the patients' mood and attitude. Each time they undress, they are left feeling vulnerable and exposed, and with a loss of dignity which cannot be avoided. Couple this embarrassing exposure with the already immense amount of stress triggered by a cancer diagnosis, and it is a recipe for greater depression and anxiety which can negatively affect the success of treatment. Moreover, patients who suffer incontinence experience further potential embarrassment and humiliation because they are unable to wear diapers that would cover fiducial tattoos, which provide protection from accidents resulting from their incontinence. These accidents not only expose a patient to unnecessary, and perhaps preventable shame, they can also contaminate or damage expensive equipment. It is known that having a strong will, maintaining a positive mood, and possessing a hopeful attitude can be critical for surviving cancer treatment and overcoming the disease. Therefore, the challenge presented is to develop a means of protecting a patient with skin markers from humiliation and embarrassment during a medical procedure, while simultaneously exposing the skin markers for measurement by a medical device.

The Skin Marker Exposing Garment was developed in part to provide a garment for exposing skin markers on a patient receiving a medical procedure using a medical device, which aligns to the skin markers, while protecting that patient from humiliation and embarrassment during the medical procedure. In broad embodiment, the present invention relates to a garment for exposing skin markers on a patient receiving a medical procedure using a medical device, which requires alignment to those skin markers. The skin markers are exposed through one or more windows in the garment, which are aligned with locations on a human body where skin markers are typically placed, such as the waist and sides near the midsection of the body or the middle and sides of the chest. The windows are large enough to expose an area, which substantially encompasses all or most of the variations of skin marker placement on the human body depending on the type of cancer and body type of the individual, while still maintaining the privacy of the patient by not exposing their private areas, and the manufacturability of the Skin Marker Exposing Garment is facilitated by the fact that this window sizing covers a range of skin marker placements. The windows may be open areas on the garments without any material, or comprise a sheer mesh or transparent material, or other see-through material, or the like. The remainder of the garment is attractive and fashionable and conceals private areas on a patient. The Skin Marker Exposing Garment can be adapted to any existing form-fitting garment or undergarment. Some embodiments are underwear, while other embodiments, such as pants or yoga pants, can be worn as regular clothing. Additionally, some versions provide protection from incontinence by using absorbent material, and may be reusable or disposable. In some embodiments, borders arounds the windows on the garments may further facilitate coarse alignment of a medical device to the skin markers on the patient.

In more preferred embodiments, the present invention relates to a garment for exposing skin markers on a patient receiving a medical procedure using a medical device, said skin markers comprising: one or more alignment marks on the skin of said patient receiving said medical procedure; said medical procedure comprising: measuring marker positions of said skin markers on said skin of said patient using said medical device, determining the treatment position of a treatment area of said patient relative to said marker positions of said skin markers, aligning said medical device with said treatment position of said treatment area of said patient based on said marker positions of said skin markers on said patient, and treating said treatment area of said patient with said medical device; said garment comprising: a skintight fitting on said patient, said patient having private areas, exposed regions that expose said skin markers on said patient for measurement by said medical device, and covered regions that cover said private areas of said patient; wherein said skin markers are exposed in said exposed regions for measurement by said medical device during said medical procedure while said private areas of said patient are covered when said patient is wearing said garment. In some embodiments, the skin marker is a tattoo, which may be temporary or permanent, or may be an implant. In some embodiments, the exposed region may be an opening, or comprise a transparent window, a semitransparent window, a translucent material, a sheer mesh, a see-through material, or the like. In some embodiments, the windows are large enough to expose an area, which substantially encompasses all or most of the variations of skin marker placement on the human body depending on the type of cancer and body type of the individual, while still maintaining the privacy of the patient by not exposing their private areas. Other embodiments further comprise a marker border around said exposed regions, said marker border comprising: a seam around said exposed regions, said seam being disposed between said exposed regions and said private areas; wherein said marker border facilitates said measuring of said marker positions of said skin markers on said skin of said patient using said medical device. The preferred embodiments of the Skin Marker Exposing Garment include women's briefs, or the like; women's briefs with lining variations, or the like; seamless women's briefs; women's shorties, or the like; women's narrow band underwear, or the like; women's wide band underwear, or the like; women's leggings, such as tights, leotards, or the like; women's pants, such as yoga pants, sweat pants, exercise pants, or the like; unisex narrow band pants, such as tights, leotards, yoga pants, sweat pants, exercise pants, or the like; unisex wide band pants, such as tights, leotards, yoga pants, sweat pants, exercise pants, or the like; a bra, or the like; women's incontinence underwear, including reusable or disposable versions, or the like; men's boxers, or the like; men's long boxers, or the like; men's narrow band underwear, or the like; men's wide band underwear, or the like; and men's incontinence underwear, including reusable or disposable versions, or the like.
