Method of making a marking grid for radiographic imaging

Marking grid for radiographic imaging, and method of making such a grid

Disclosed herein is a radiographic marker system which includes a radiopaque marker mounted on a thin, flexible adhesive label. In one embodiment, the adhesive label has a central portion, the adhesive side of which is covered by a cut-out portion of the base tape to provide for comfortable removal of the marker after use. In another embodiment, the adhesive label has a gripping tab to facilitate removal from a base tape upon which the marker is supported before use, and to facilitate removal from a patient after use. The gripping tab is formed by a projecting tab of the label combined with a cut-out portion of the base tape which covers adhesive on the projecting tab. A method of making a radiology marker system according to the invention also is disclosed.
