markers, lead
markers, x-ray
lead markers, or radiographic film identification markers, are used to mark x-ray films, both in hospital
s and in industrial workplaces (such as on aeroplane parts and motors
). They are used on radiographic images to determine anatomical side of body. Most X-ray markers consist of a right and a left letter with the technologist
's initials. There are also available of markers to indicate positioning of the body e.g. supine, or as to time when performing procedures such as an Intravenous pyelogram

Lead
Lead is a main-group element in the carbon group with the symbol Pb and atomic number 82. Lead is a soft, malleable poor metal. It is also counted as one of the heavy metals. Metallic lead has a bluish-white color after being freshly cut, but it soon tarnishes to a dull grayish color when exposed...

X-ray
X-radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz and energies in the range 120 eV to 120 keV. They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays and longer than gamma...
