Positional X-ray Markers

Positional X-ray Markers

What Are X-Ray Markers?
X-ray markers — also known as anatomical side markers, Pb markers, or radiographic lead markers — are essential tools in both medical and industrial radiography. These markers are placed directly on radiographic images to clearly identify the right (R) or left (L) side of the body, include the radiologic technologist’s initials, and often display key information like patient positioning (e.g., supine or erect), the procedure date, or even the time of exposure.

Widely used across hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and radiology schools worldwide, X-ray markers play a critical role in maintaining diagnostic accuracy, professional compliance, and legal documentation standards.

At XrayMarkers.ca, we specialize in high-quality, handcrafted X-ray markers — from professional-grade designs to fun, personalized styles. Whether you’re performing daily diagnostics or specialized procedures, our markers are designed to last and stand out.

Positional X-ray markers are among our most requested items. Choose from popular terms or fully customize your markers with words and visuals that suit your practice — and ensure they’re clearly visible across imaging modalities.
