Scanogram/Radiology/Radioopaque Rulers
(also called X-Ray Rulers/Rules/Scales)
Whittam
has developed special (scanogram) radiology rulers. Above, the actual
ruler and its image on the film.
Ruler graduations register clearly on an x-ray film. The rulers are
130 cm long by 38 mm wide, made of brass, nickel plated, and precisely engraved, then
filled with special x-ray blocking paint. The finished scales are encased in clear
PVC for protection and stiffness. A 1/4" hole through PVC and brass above the
130 cm mark is provided for hanging when not in use. Placed next to the object being
x-rayed, they make an excellent measurement tool for any radiology department.
