ABSTRACT:
An X-ray film marking device is quickly attachable to and detachable from an X-ray film cassette using a block of magnet material which is X-ray opaque but if formed with two X-ray transparent cavity portions. One cavity portion is L-shaped to cause a black L recording on a white background. A second cavity portion is R-shaped to cause a black R recording on a white background. A door of X-ray opaque material is adjustably positioned over either cavity portion and has magnetizable material cooperating with the magnet material to safely lock the door in its adjusted positions. The cavity portions are filled with different color X-ray transparent material for contrast. The magnet material includes a third cavity portion which is dish shaped for confining a ball that is free to move to a position therein depending upon the orientation of the X-ray cassette upon which the marker is mounted.
