SalaMarker is a software package originally developed by Jami MacNeil (URL), Guha Dharmarajan (URL), and Rod Williams for use with Visible Implant Elastomers (VIEs). SalaMarker is a computer program that will generate lists of unique marks based on user parameters. The program prompts the user to enter parameters (number of body locations, number of tags, and number of colors) in a step-by step fashion. The program generates codes in a text (.txt) file that can be copied into Microsoft Excel or Word for use in the field or lab. The SalaMarker code generator can be downloaded for free at SalaMarker.
