Abstract
An apparatus for identification of medically related technical accessories and patients comprises a connected transponder reader and a monitoring device. The transponder reader can read out an accessory transponder attached to a medical accessory (possibly an irradiation mask) and a patient transponder. The monitoring device can acquire information read out from an accessory transponder by the transponder reader as an input signal and, dependent on this input signal, can generate an accessory identification signal. It can also acquire information read out by the transponder reader from a patient transponder as an input signal and, dependent on this input signal, can generate a patient identification signal. The apparatus can be part of a radiation therapy system. A system for identification of medically related technical accessories, comprised of a monitoring device, a transponder reader connected with the monitoring device, and an accessory transponder attached to a medical accessory is also provided.
