Method and system for managing a process of image data acquired by a computed radiography technique and additional information added to the image data

摘要

In a CR (computed radiography) system having a plurality of subsystems, X-ray image data acquired by an X-ray photographing apparatus is stored in an IP (imaging plate). The X-ray image data stored in the IP is read by an image reading apparatus. IP information is input by an IP information input apparatus, and stored in an image processing and control apparatus and a management apparatus. When IP information corresponding to X-ray image data read by the image reading apparatus is stored in the image processing and control apparatus, and IP process for a case of operating a single subsystem is performed. When the IP information is not stored in the image processing and control apparatus, IP information stored in the management apparatus is retrieved. When the IP information corresponding to the X-ray image data is detected in the management apparatus, the IP process is performed in accordance with the detected IP information.
