Radiograph marker

A radiograph marker comprising a pair of elements made of a relatively X-ray-opaque material and interconnected in a manner to permit relative movement between the two elements, one of said elements being connected to the other element so that said one element forms a portion of one of the legs of an "L" in a first position and the diagonal leg of an "R" in a second position, the other of said elements forming the balance of the "L" in said first position and the balance of the "R" in said second position whereby the same marker can be used to form either an "L" or an "R" when placed between an X-ray source and a radiograph film.

A method of marking a radiograph with a letter, said method comprising positioning between the X-ray source and the radiograph film a marker comprising a pair of elements made of a relatively X-ray-opaque material and interconnected in a manner to permit relative movement between the two elements, said elements being shaped to form a first letter when in a first position relative to each other and to form a second letter when in a second position relative to each other whereby the same marker can be used to form either of two different letters, and gravity responsive means within one of said elements for indicating whether the marker is in a horizontal or vertical position.

A marker for a body image record formed by subjecting a sensing medium to a selected form of radiation emanating from a body, said marker comprising a pair of elements made of a material which influences said selected form of radiation when the marker is placed between the body and the sensing medium, said elements being interconnected in a manner to permit relative movement between the two elements with the elements being shaped to form a first letter when in a first position relative to each other and to form a second letter when in a second position relative to each other whereby the same marker can be used to form either of two different letters, and gravity responsive means within one of said elements for indicating whether the marker is in a horizontal or vertical position.
