X-ray calipers are L-shaped measuring tools used to determine the thickness of a patient's body part being X-rayed. The measurement is quick and painless, and it helps the technologist determine the amount of radiation to use for the image.

X-ray positioners are devices that help ensure the radiograph sensor plate is accurately positioned, which is essential for capturing clear images of teeth.

Types of positioners

Positioners come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different body parts and animal sizes.

Some examples include:

Cassette holders: Secure cassettes or digital detectors for precise positioning.
Extremity positioners: Hold limbs (legs, paws) in specific orientations for X-rays of bones and joints.
Dental positioners: Facilitate proper positioning of X-ray film or sensors for dental X-rays.

Types of clippers

X-ray calipers typically have two adjustable arms with markings that meet at a measuring point.
Some advanced calipers may be digital, offering electronic measurement displays.
