Abstract

Files of acquired images are stored in a directory of computer tomography (CT) in the form of ACR/NEMA format file. For printing the images by a laser imager, application software stored in the laser imager is started from CT, whereby an interactive indication of the application software is indicated on a CRT in CT. An operator inputs a name of a directory where the image information files are present, and operates a window information setting switch, a format information setting switch, a font information setting switch, an overlay information switch and a print start switch with a mouse to set respective information and then to print the images.
