Abstract

An X ray film cassette has a marking mechanism whereby unique identification of the film cassette is provided by film exposed therewithin. Plural light-opaque markers mounted in the film cassette provide means for marking the X ray film therein during exposure with an image correlated with a marking on the cassette exterior, thereby indicating the particular cassette within which the X ray film was exposed.
