Error handling in a high throughput computer-aided detection environment

A method for batch processing a set of films including multiple film cases, the method including the steps of:

• providing at least one error check on the status of processing the films in the set of films;
• processing the film cases in the set of films with a computer system;
• identifying a process error during processing based on the at least one error check;
• inputting to the computer system information including the number of films in each film case, and the at least one error check comprises checking the number of films processed for a film case against the input information;
• and
• completing processing without operator intervention of all film cases in the set of films after a process error is identified in one film case while maintaining the processing sequence of a work list;
• wherein the step of identifying a process error includes testing two error conditions relating to processing the set of films, one error condition resulting from a double feed of a film and another film in the set of films, and the other error condition resulting from a double feed of a film and a case separator in the set of films.
