METHOD OF ENCODING A RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE SIGNAL, METHOD OF DECODING A RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE SIGNAL, RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE DETECTION DEVICE AND RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE SIGNAL GENERATION DEVICE

摘要

From a radiation detecting unit for detecting a radiographic image of a subject by receiving radiation transmitted through the subject, a radiographic image signal representing the radiographic image is read out, and information about an imaging operation carried out to obtain the radiographic image of the subject is obtained. The radiographic image signal is encoded with using key information based on the obtained information about the imaging operation to generate an encoded radiographic image signal, and the encoded radiographic image signal is outputted as a radio communication signal.
