Abstract
A radiographic imaging system includes a radiographic detector having a scanning device to obtain patient identifying information. The detector is programmed to display the patient identifying information in human readable form and to access additional information about the patient stored in networked databases.
Claims14
A portable digital radiographic detector comprising:
- an array of imaging pixels on a front side of the detector to capture a radiographic image;
- a display on a back side of the detector opposite the front side;
- a processor and memory configured to store the captured radiographic image;
- a scanning device configured to scan patient identifying information and to electronically store patient identifying information as digital alphanumeric characters generated from the scanned patient identifying information, wherein the processor is further configured to associate the stored digital alphanumeric character patient identifying information with the captured radiographic image;
- and
- a housing to at least partially enclose the array of imaging pixels, the display, the processor and the scanning device,
- wherein the processor is further configured to simultaneously display the stored digital alphanumeric characters and the captured radiographic image on the display.

A method of operating a portable digital radiographic detector comprising an array of imaging pixels on a front side of the detector, a display on a back side of the detector, and a scanning device, the method comprising:
- scanning patient identifying information using the scanning device;
- capturing a radiographic image of a patient associated with the patient identifying information;
- generating digital alphanumeric characters based on the scanned patient identifying information, and electronically storing the digital alphanumeric characters;
- simultaneously displaying the stored digital alphanumeric characters and the captured radiographic image of the patient on the display;
- and
- obtaining additional information corresponding to the patient identifying information and displaying the obtained additional information on the display.
