The IOR marker set is comprised of 36 markers. It is best if marker placement done by an individual who is experienced with palpating anatomical positions.

The anatomical location of each target is referenced to the description in the Color Atlas of Skeletal Landmark Definitions. This text is useful for further description of target location as well as recommendations for palpation.
