Claims
- 1. A method for identifying a radiographic image, comprising:manually entering data into an identification station; and transferring said data from said identification station to a memory provided on a cassette conveying a photostimulable phosphor screen in which said radiographic image has been stored, wherein said memory is a radiofrequency tag, wherein said data is transferred from said identification station to said radiofrequency tag via a radiofrequency transmission, wherein said data comprises data that is indicative of a destination to which an image read out of said photostimulable phosphor is to be sent, and wherein, upon activation of a hold key, sending of a read out image to said destination is upheld.
- 2. A method of identifying a radiographic image comprisingentering identification data into an identification station, said data comprising data indicative of a destination, transferring said data from said identification station to a memory means provided on a cassette conveying a photostimulable phosphor screen wherein said radiographic image has been stored, reading the image stored in said photostimulable phosphor screen and, sending a read out image to said destination characterised in that upon activation of a hold key the sending of a read out image to said destination is upheld.
- 3. A method according to claim 2 wherein the sending is upheld for a pre-defined period of time at the end of which the read out image is sent to an identified destination.
- 4. A method according to claim 2 wherein the sending is upheld until de-activation of said hold key.
- 5. A method according to claim 2 wherein said data comprise data identifying an examination type and wherein the destination is automatically selected in accordance with an examination type entered into said identification station and wherein said destination is subsequently changed.
- 6. A method for identifying a radiographic image, comprising:manually entering data into an identification station; and transferring said data from said identification station to a memory provided on a cassette conveying a photostimulable phosphor screen in which said radiographic image has been stored, wherein said memory is a radiofrequency tag, wherein said data is transferred from said identification station to said radiofrequency tag via a radiofreguency transmission, wherein said data comprises data that is indicative of a destination to which an image read out of said photostimulable phosphor is to be sent, and wherein the sending is upheld for a pre-defined period of time at the end of which the read out image is sent to an identified destination.
- 7. A method for identifying a radiographic image, comprising:manually entering data into an identification station; transferring said data from said identification station to a memory provided on a cassette conveying a photostimulable phosphor screen in which said radiographic image has been stored, wherein said memory is a radiofrequency tag, wherein said data is transferred from said identification station to said radiofrequency tag via a radiofrequency transmission, wherein said data comprises data that is indicative of a destination to which an image read out of said photostimulable phosphor is to be sent, and wherein the sending is upheld until a de-activation of a hold key.
