METHOD OF DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT BREAST IMAGES AND BREAST RADIOGRAPHING SYSTEM

摘要

The control apparatus sets the destination for sending data of the designated image reading apparatus and the breast image radiographing apparatus to be the control apparatus when receiving request for radiographing start in the mammography mode from the control apparatus. The breast image radiographing apparatus reads cassette ID of loaded cassette, and sends it to the control apparatus after correlating the cassette ID with UID indicating the radiographing time. The image reading apparatus reads cassette ID of loaded cassette and sends it along with the read image data to the control apparatus. The control apparatus correlates the received image data with the UID by using the cassette ID as a key, discriminates between MLO-L image and MLO-R image, and discriminates CC-L and CC-R images based on the discrimination result and the radiographing order indicated by the UID.
