Right or left marker.
Position of patient or projection, e.g. PA, RAO, ERCET,
ect.
Timing of the film in given sequence, e.g. 5 min, 1 h,
ect.
Number of film in rapid sequence, e.g. in aortography.
Layer height in tomography.
Tube angulation used.
Whether moblie or ward radiograph.
Stereographs - direction of tube displacement.
Miscellaneous information, e.g.. Post micturition , after
fatty meal.
5. 2.
Readable when the radiograph is viewed from
correct aspect.
Not superimposed on any important anatomy.
3.
Included within the collimated area.

8. (1) Lead letters and legends
(a) Radiopaque legends and letters for use in marking radiograph
(b) Marker for radiographs upper the letter is incised in a thin piece of metal.
Centre the letter lead, mounted in a Perspex plaque. Lower single lead character.
9. .Right (R) and left marker for anatomical orientation
Anatomical marker
suitable for placing over
the edge of a
cassette to record on
the film either the right
or left.
15. The character should not be placed where to obscure
a feature of diagnostic importance.
If the irradiated field is limited by a cone or
collimator its useless to place a marker close to the
border of the cassette as it will receive no exposure.
16. (a) Contact printing.
(b) photographic marker (using simple lens
system).
Work either like direct printing boxes or like
simple camera and light is used to affect the
film.
23.
Films and other records may be perforated
with letters or figures as means of identification
using machines.
Most applicable when a large number of
radiographs has to be marked with same
information e.g. hospital name and date of
examination.
24. Embossed dot;
Dental films packet,
as
well as on film it self
As raised dot.
When exposing the
film, the convexity of
the dot must be
towards the x-ray
tube, and the film is
positioned in the
mouth so that the dot
is always towards
the crown.
Provided that film is
viewed with dot
convexity toward the
observer.
26. Features of good illuminator are;
(1)Light of even intensity.
(2)Light should as white as possible.
(3)Minimal heat given off by the light source.
(4)A facility for varying the brightness.
(5)A high intensity light (spot light)
incorporated.
(6)Transparent film grips, so that
identification is always visible.
