Lead Markers

X-ray markers serve as an essential tool for radiographers, aiding in identifying the anatomical side of the body on radiographic images. At Phillips Safety, we proudly offer an extensive collection of lead markers designed to enhance image clarity and precision.

Customizable Lead Markers

Crafted from durable hard plastic and encased in aluminum, our lead markers ensure longevity and improved image quality. The inclusion of heavy metal alloy lettering, sealed under crystal clear epoxy, further enhances readability. Our range offers versatility with options for marking “right” and “left,” alongside directional arrows, to suit every imaging need.

Benefits and Options

Lead’s clarity and resistance to fading make it the ideal choice for x-ray lettering. Phillips Safety’s markers come in various colors to denote the corresponding side: red for “right” and blue for “left.” With shapes ranging from squares and circles to heart-shaped designs, our selection meets diverse requirements.

Customization and Care

Tailoring to specific needs, we offer custom-made lead markers, processable within 1-3 business days before shipment. Customization options include adding up to three initials, while we also provide plain markers on demand. To maintain their condition, washing with soap and water is advisable, steering clear of autoclaving to preserve integrity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Where to place lead markers?

    Lead markers are frequently used in X-ray examinations to indicate anatomical landmarks and provide patient information. Radiographic markers are positioned in the corners of X-ray films, conveying image orientation and important details such as patient name, date, and side markers. It’s crucial to consider that the placement of lead markers can vary depending on the imaging facility, examination type, and the preferences of radiographers.

  • Why right or left for lead markers?

    Lead markers indicating the right or left side are essential in medical imaging for accurate interpretation and effective communication among healthcare professionals. They provide crucial information about the orientation and positioning of anatomical structures. These markers enable proper identification and differentiation between the two sides of the body, which is especially relevant in imaging studies involving asymmetry or laterality, such as fractures, joint conditions, or surgical procedures. Radiologists and healthcare professionals can easily determine the imaged side by utilizing right or left lead markers, ensuring precise diagnosis and treatment planning. The consistent use of these markers facilitates proper comparison of images over time, aiding in monitoring changes and progress in the patient’s condition.

  • How much do lead markers cost?

    Our goal at Phillips Safety is to provide customers with high-quality lead markers. That being said, our lead markers start at $8.00, with many options to choose from.

  • Where to buy lead markers?

    The best and easiest way to buy lead markers is online. Companies like Phillips Safety are dedicated to providing the best xray lead markers at affordable prices and quick delivery.

  • What is an identification marker in radiology?

    An identification marker in radiology, often called an X-ray marker, is a small device used to mark radiographic images. It indicates the patient’s anatomical side (right or left), the position during the scan, and sometimes additional information like patient ID or date. These markers help ensure the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning.

  • What is a lead marker?

    A lead marker, often used in radiology, is a small device made of lead letters or shapes placed on or near an X-ray film or digital detector before taking an image. These markers identify key information on radiographic images, such as the patient’s side of the body being imaged (right or left), the radiographer’s initials, and sometimes the date of the examination. Lead is chosen for its high radiopacity, meaning it clearly shows up on X-rays without being penetrated by the rays, ensuring the markings are visible and legible on the final image. This is crucial for accurate image interpretation, patient safety, and adherence to legal documentation standards in medical imaging.
