Abstract
Data identifying a radiographic image are entered manually into an identification station. Then, the radiographic image is transferred by radio frequency transmission from the identification station to a radio frequency tag provided on a cassette conveying a photo stimulable phosphor screen in which a radiographic image has been stored.
Claims7
A method for identifying a radiographic image, comprising:
- manually entering data into an identification station;
- and
- transferring said data from said identification station to a memory provided on a cassette conveying a photostimulable phosphor screen in which said radiographic image has been stored,
- wherein said memory is a radiofrequency tag,
- wherein said data is transferred from said identification station to said radiofrequency tag via a radiofrequency transmission,
- wherein said data comprises data that is indicative of a destination to which an image read out of said photostimulable phosphor is to be sent, and
- wherein, upon activation of a hold key, sending of a read out image to said destination is upheld.

A method of identifying a radiographic image comprising
- entering identification data into an identification station, said data comprising data indicative of a destination,
- transferring said data from said identification station to a memory means provided on a cassette conveying a photostimulable phosphor screen wherein said radiographic image has been stored,
- reading the image stored in said photostimulable phosphor screen and,
- sending a read out image to said destination characterised in that
- upon activation of a hold key the sending of a read out image to said destination is upheld.

- manually entering data into an identification station;
- and
- transferring said data from said identification station to a memory provided on a cassette conveying a photostimulable phosphor screen in which said radiographic image has been stored,
- wherein said memory is a radiofrequency tag,
- wherein said data is transferred from said identification station to said radiofrequency tag via a radiofreguency transmission,
- wherein said data comprises data that is indicative of a destination to which an image read out of said photostimulable phosphor is to be sent, and
- wherein the sending is upheld for a pre-defined period of time at the end of which the read out image is sent to an identified destination.
