X-Ray Caliper
The X-Ray Caliper is a precision measuring tool used in radiography to accurately determine the thickness of a patient’s body part before imaging. This measurement allows technologists to select the correct exposure settings, helping achieve optimal image quality while minimizing unnecessary radiation.
Designed for simplicity and reliability, the caliper features a smooth sliding mechanism and clearly marked scales for quick and accurate readings. It is an essential tool in both medical and veterinary imaging environments, helping improve consistency and reduce repeat exposures.
