Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a film used for X-ray diagnostic imaging and the like, and more particularly to an X-ray film capable of writing image supplementary information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a database is often used to manage image information of an X-ray film. In such a case, after the image of the X-ray film is optically read by the film digitizer and converted into a digital signal, identification information such as patient information, imaging information, examination information and the like is attached to this image information, and an optical disk or a magnetic storage device is added. File and save. Normally, in order to manage the X-ray film, a part of the patient information and the photographing date and the like are optically imprinted on the X-ray film, or as shown in FIG.
For example, the barcode sticker 21 in which the image supplementary information is written is attached to the lower end of 0 or the like. Therefore, in order to digitize the image of the X-ray film and perform filing, necessary identification information and the like are manually input by an input device such as a keyboard, or a bar code including the information is read by a reading device.

[0003]

However, in the case of manually inputting patient information, imaging information, examination information, etc., although information of many items can be filed, an input error is likely to occur and an X-ray film per sheet There is a problem that the digitization time of the image is long and the throughput is reduced. On the other hand, when reading with a barcode,
Although this problem can be solved, the amount of transmitted information is small in order to build a database with a large amount of information.
For example, there is a problem that it becomes necessary to manually input information such as a ward or a room, an examination site, a device code, and an engineer code. The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an X-ray film provided with a storage medium unit capable of storing and transmitting a large number of items of information.

[0004]

The X-ray film according to the present invention is an X-ray film having a photosensitive layer provided on the surface of a thin transparent support having flexibility, and at least one end of the edge of the X-ray film. It is characterized in that a magnetic storage medium section for recording image additional information is provided along the side. Further, instead of such a magnetic storage medium section, a magnetic storage medium for recording image additional information is embedded along at least one end side of the edge of the X film.

[0005]

According to the X-ray film of the above means, a large amount of information can be stored in the magnetic storage medium portion or the like, and if a magnetic substance having a high recording density is used for the magnetic storage medium, a large number of information can be stored in a small recording space. Item information can be recorded.

The information stored in the magnetic storage medium portion of the X-ray film is instantly read by a magnetic reader when digitally filing an image of the X-ray film, and filed on an optical disk or the like. As a result, it is not necessary to manually input the image supplementary information, and the input setting time of these information can be shortened. This shortens the processing time for digital filing for each X-ray film.

[0007]

Embodiments of the X-ray film according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the X according to the first embodiment.
It is a figure which shows a line film.

This X-ray film is a magnetic storage medium for storing image auxiliary information along one edge of the edge of a film portion 3 formed by laminating a photosensitive layer 2 on the surface of a thin transparent support 1 having flexibility. It has a structure provided with a portion 4.

The magnetic storage medium portion 4 is provided by vacuum-depositing a magnetic material on the photosensitive layer 2 of the film portion 3, so that even if a developer is attached to the magnetic material, the recorded information is not affected. , A thin film of fluoride, etc. is coated.

A magnetic material having a high recording density is used for the magnetic storage medium section 4, and a large amount of image additional information (identification information) is provided.
Can be remembered. For example, patient name or ID, date of birth, sex, ward, patient information such as room, examination site, device name and its code, imaging date, examination information such as technician name or its code, doctor name or the like Diagnostic information such as codes, diagnostic findings, diagnostic codes, etc., as well as image processing information such as image size, image processing parameters, etc. are stored.

As a method for inputting the image supplementary information, first, the patient is read from the ID card of the patient by using the reading device at the reception before the X-ray photography, and this is read by the writing device. Automatically input to the magnetic storage medium section. Next, at the time of X-ray imaging, a radiologist or the like additionally inputs examination information and the like into the magnetic storage medium unit. Then, a doctor who makes a diagnosis based on the developed image of the X-ray film inputs the diagnosis information and the like to the magnetic storage medium section. As described above, since each expert inputs predetermined information at the time of acceptance, photographing, and diagnosis, the occurrence of input errors is reduced, and the X-ray film can be used as a kind of medical certificate.

Various kinds of information recorded in the magnetic storage medium unit 4 as described above are saved together with the image information when the image of the X-ray film is digitally filed, and become search information of the image database.

As the magnetic storage medium for recording the image supplementary information, in this embodiment, the film portion 3 on which the magnetic material is vapor-deposited is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A magnetic tape or the like may be attached to the. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an X-ray film according to the second embodiment.

In this X-ray film, a magnetic storage medium 5 for recording image supplementary information is attached along one edge of the edge of a flexible thin transparent support 1, and a protective film (not shown) is attached to the surface thereof. It has a structure in which the photosensitive layer 2 is laminated via the above. In this way, the magnetic storage medium 5 is embedded in the film portion 3 so that the stored information is sufficiently protected.

[0015]

According to the X-ray film of the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently record a large number of items of image supplementary information in a magnetic storage medium section or the like. Therefore, when filing on an optical disc or the like, item information is newly added. No need to type,
A database with a lot of search information can be easily constructed.

If digital filing is performed using this X-ray film, the reading and storage of the image and its associated information can be simplified, so that the filing time can be shortened and the X-ray film image can be saved. It is also possible to automate the digital filing.
