ABSTRACT:
A radiograph identification and filing apparatus and method for photographically imprinting information onto radiographic film and filing the radiographic film. The apparatus comprises an adhesive-backed label and a jacket for storing the film. When used with a darkroom radiograph imprinter, the label, the adhesive backing for the label, and the release liner are all photo-transparent. When used with a radiograph ID camera, the label is photo-opaque. The label is divided into a plurality of information fields which include print information material. In a label for use with an imprinter, the print information is photo-opaque. The jacket includes a pocket for receiving the film and exterior surfaces for receiving the label. For an imprinter, the method includes providing a label having an imprint field having substantially the same dimensions as the light window of the imprinter. For an ID camera, the method includes providing a label having an imprint field having substantially the same dimensions as the shield of the cassette for holding the film. Both methods further comprise providing a jacket for storing the film; exposing the film to X-rays while shielding the information portion of the film from the X-rays; marking the film with the label using the imprinter or the ID camera; removing the label from the imprinter; and adhering the label to at least one of the exterior surfaces of the jacket.
