Radiation-image radiographing system

A radiographing network system comprising:

• a plurality of radiation-image reading apparatuses to read radiation images stored in radiation-image storing sheets so as to generate image data sets each of which corresponds to a respective one of said radiation images;
• and
• a plurality of controllers to register discrimination information sets each of which corresponds to a respective one of said radiation-image storing sheets;
• wherein said plurality of radiation-image reading apparatuses and said plurality of controllers are coupled to each other to form said network system, and each of said controllers can display a radiation image for confirmation, when it receives an image data set corresponding to said radiation image, said radiation image being one of said radiation images and said image data set being one of said image data sets;
• and
• wherein a radiation-image reading apparatus reads a discrimination information set recorded on a radiation-image storing sheet loaded into said radiation-image reading apparatus, in order to specify a controller, which registered said discrimination information set of said radiation-image storing sheet, on the basis of said discrimination information set, so as to transmit said image data set, read from said radiation-image storing sheet, to said controller specified by said radiation-image reading apparatus, and wherein each of said radiation-image reading apparatus, said discrimination information set, said radiation-image storing sheet and said controller is one of said plurality of radiation-image reading apparatuses, one of said discrimination information sets, one of said radiation-image storing sheets and one of said plurality of controllers, respectively.
