Abstract
In storage phosphor radiography a latent x-ray image of a patient is stored in a storage phosphor. A storage phosphor reader converts the latent image into an x-ray image signal. A patient identifying and exam collection bar code system provides patient identification and x-ray exam data at the time of the exam which is matched with the x-ray image signal in the reader.
