Tape having graduated scale providing location indicia during x-ray processes

Tape for use during an x-ray process carried out on a body part to expose x-ray film, comprising:

• a T-shaped tape strip having a flexible tape body and a rib extending from the tape body, said tape body having an adhesive side for adhesive attachment to a preselected location on said body part;
• said rib having a normal first position wherein the rib extends generally perpendicular to the tape body and being flexible from the first position to a second position wherein the rib lies generally along the tape body;
• adhesive means on said rib for retaining the rib in its second position when flexed thereto;
• and
• a graduated scale including a plurality of spaced apart graduation marks on said rib which are opaque to x-rays, whereby the marks provide an image on x-ray film exposed to x-rays directed generally parallel to the tape body with said rib in the first position and also on x-ray film exposed to x-rays directed generally perpendicular to the tape body with said rib in the second position, thereby indicating the location of other images on the film relative to each graduation mark in two dimensions.
