ABSTRACT:
A storage phosphor radiography patient identification system which matches a patient with an x-ray image of the patient stored in a storage phosphor. The system includes a patient identifying bar code - uniquely identifying a patient; a storage phosphor identifying bar code uniquely identifying a storage phosphor and a portable bar code scanner. The bar code scanner is used to scan the patient bar code and the storage phosphor bar code when a patient is exposed to an X-ray which is stored on the storage phosphor. Preferably, a portable x-ray source has a chart having sets of bar codes identifying x-ray examination type information. The bar code scanner scans the examination type bar codes at the time the x-ray of the patient is taken. The storage phosphor has a non-volatile read/write memory adhered to it. The bar code scanner has a memory probe which transfers the patient ID, storage phosphor ID and exam time information from the bar code scanner to the storage phosphor memory. The system includes a storage phosphor reader for converting an x-ray image stored in a storage phosphor into an x-ray image signal and for reading the bar code identification of the storage phosphor. The storage phosphor reader receives from the storage phosphor memory through an internal memory probe, information relating to patient identification, storage phosphor identification and examination type and matches the patient identification and examination type with the x-ray image signal.
