Left-Right Markers

Left and right radiographic markers are essential identification tools used in diagnostic imaging to clearly indicate the anatomical side being examined. Commonly used in chiropractic, medical, dental, and veterinary settings, these markers ensure that every image is accurately labeled, supporting correct diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Typically made with lead or lead-equivalent materials, the markers are placed within the imaging field so that the “L” (left) or “R” (right) appears directly on the radiograph. This permanent, visible identification is critical for maintaining accuracy, preventing misinterpretation, and meeting clinical and legal documentation standards.

Designed for durability and ease of use, left and right markers are available in various shapes, sizes, and color-coded formats for quick recognition during procedures. Lightweight and reusable, they integrate seamlessly into daily workflows, helping clinicians maintain efficiency while ensuring the highest standards of patient safety and imaging quality.
