Abstract
A medical imaging system comprises at least an image plate, X-ray device for producing an image of an object on said image plate, and a reading device for reading image information held by the image plate. In connection with the image plate there is a tag containing information for controlling the arrangement in such a manner that when the arrangement has read the information in the tag the arrangement is adapted to perform at least one operation controlled by the information read.
Claims20
An arrangement for medical X-ray imaging comprising:
- an image plate for use in intraoral imaging, wherein an X-ray image of an object examined is producable on the image plate, the X-ray image producable on the image plate being readable by a reading device;
- a tag attached to the image plate, and the tag contains information for controlling the arrangement for medical X-ray imaging in such manner that, when the arrangement has read the information in the tag, the arrangement is configured to perform at least one operation controlled by the information in the tag;
- reading and writing means for remotely reading from the tag and for remotely writing to the tag;
- wherein the information in the tag comprises position information that indicates a position of the image plate with respect to teeth of a patient and the at least one operation comprises that the reading device delivers the X-ray image and the position information to a data processing means and the data processing means attach the X-ray image in an appropriate location on an image template representing the teeth of the patient;
- and
- wherein the appropriate location is that to which the X-ray image relates according to the position information.

An arrangement for medical X-ray imaging, comprising:
- an image plate for use in intraoral imaging, the image plate configured to produce thereon an X-ray image of an object examined;
- a tag attached to the image plate, and the tag contains information for controlling the arrangement for medical X-ray imaging;
- a reading device operable to read the X-ray image of the object examined from the image plate, the reading device operable to remotely read from the tag and remotely write to the tag the information for controlling the arrangement for medical X-ray imaging, the information for controlling comprising at least position information that indicates a position of the image plate with respect to teeth of a patient;
- a template representing the teeth of the patient;
- and
- a computer that receives the position information read by the reading device and the computer receives the X-ray image of the object examined from the reading device and the computer attaches the X-ray image of the object examined in an appropriate location on the image template, being that to which the X-ray image relates according to the position information.
