Abstract
A method and system for simultaneous display of a radiograph film and a digital image associated therewith. A film is loaded onto a viewing box; identification information is obtained from the film; a digital image associated with the film is retrieved from an image database based on the identification information and is displayed. The results of a CAD scheme can be applied to or superimposed on the retrieved image. The image retrieval can be delayed until the film has been displayed on the viewing box at a specific location for a preset minimum amount of time. Other images or information can also be retrieved.
