METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PHOSPHOR PLATE IDENTIFICATION IN COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY

摘要

A method for obtaining an intra-oral X-ray image of a subject on a flexible information carrier plate for computed radiography affixes a memory to a surface of the information carrier plate, wherein the affixed memory stores information about the plate and wherein the affixed memory is in wireless communication with a computer, stores at least a first scan date in the affixed memory, exposes the subject and obtains the intra-oral X-ray image of the subject using steps of: (i) storing identification data about the subject and about the image exposed in the affixed memory; (ii) acquiring image data from a scan of the flexible information carrier plate following exposure to X-rays, acquiring at least the stored identification data from the affixed memory, and associating the acquired image data with the acquired identification data; (iii) erasing image content from the flexible information carrier plate; and (iv) storing the acquired image data in a second, computer-accessible memory according to the acquired identification data.

1. A method for obtaining an intra-oral X-ray image of a subject on a flexible information carrier plate for computed radiography, comprising:
affixing a memory to a surface of the information carrier plate, wherein the affixed memory stores information about the plate and wherein the affixed memory is in wireless communication with a computer; storing at least a first scan date in the affixed memory; and obtaining the intra-oral X-ray image of the subject by:
(a) storing at least a job identifier and a scan status for the plate in the affixed memory;(b) acquiring image data from a scan of the flexible information carrier plate following exposure to X-rays, acquiring at least the job identifier from the affixed memory, and associating the acquired image data with the acquired job identifier;(c) incrementing a scan count value and updating the scan status in the affixed memory of the exposed flexible information carrier plate;(d) erasing image content from the flexible information carrier plate; and(e) storing the acquired image data in a second, computer-accessible memory according to the acquired job identifier.
