NIST Certified Acrylic Radiopaque Rulers

traceable to a National Institute of Standards and Technology standard in Washington, D.C. Each ruler is given a unique serial number and comes with a certification
document.
Since the advent of digital radiography the need for radiopaque rulers has increased. The digital image is displayed on a screen instead of film and the image size can be adjusted at will. The radiopaque ruler in the image provides a permanent reference of image size. Use of radiopaque rulers during image guided procedures provides the doctor or technician a reference on the outside of the body. Radiopaque rulers may be used to check the accuracy and position of the light field for quality control and adjustment.
