a marker portion which is provided on the distal end side of the main body portion, wherein the marker portion is radiopaque and has a shape for identifying a location of the light irradiation portion in a circumferential direction of the light irradiation device when viewed from the outside, wherein
the shape of the marker portion is spiral and extends in an axial direction of the light irradiation device.
2. The light irradiation device according to claim 1 , further comprising a radiopaque distal end side marker portion provided on a distal end side of the marker portion.
3. The light irradiation device according to claim 2 , further comprising
a radiopaque proximal end side marker portion provided on a proximal end side of the marker portion.
4. The light irradiation device according to claim 2 , wherein
the main body portion has an elongated tube shape having an inner cavity, and the marker portion is embedded in a tube wall of the main body portion.
5. The light irradiation device according to claim 4 , further comprising
a light conveying portion which is embedded in the tube wall and extends from the distal end side to a proximal end side of the main body portion, wherein
the light conveying portion is connected to a light source on the proximal end side of the main body portion, and
the light irradiation portion is arranged on a distal end portion of the light conveying portion, and irradiates light transmitted by the light conveying portion to the outside.
6. The light irradiation device according to claim 1 , further comprising a radiopaque proximal end side marker portion provided on a proximal end side of the marker portion.
