Abstract:
A disposable x-ray side marker (100) comprises a non-metallic material (108) having a sufficiently high linear attenuation coefficient to be radiographically visible. The material (108) may be mouldable, and may be or comprise gypsum. The material (108) may have an average atomic number greater than or equal to 11, and may have a linear attenuation coefficient greater than that of mammalian soft tissue.
