Abstract

The console, when the reception of the radiation image data transmitted from the radiation image detecting apparatus is completed (Yes at Step S8), transmits the reception success signal to the radiation image detecting apparatus (Step S9). The radiation image detecting apparatus, upon receipt of the reception success signal from the console (Yes at Step S11), turns on the transmission button in blue (Step S12) to display completion of the data transmission. The operator confirms that the transmission button is turned on in blue and presses the deletion button. The radiation image detecting apparatus, upon receipt of input of the deletion button, deletes the radiation image data stored in the image storing section (Step S13).

Claims

1. A radiation image radiographing system connected to a network, the radiation image radiographing system comprising:

a radiation image detecting apparatus for generating radiation image data by detecting a radiation having passed through a subject, the radiation image detecting apparatus being portable and capable of transmitting the generated radiation image data; and

a console for being used to register radiographing order information relating to radiographing and for correlating the radiographing order information with the radiation image detecting apparatus, the console comprising;

a first receiving section for receiving the radiation image data transmitted from the radiation image detecting apparatus through wireless communication; and

a first transmitting section for transmitting a reception success signal to the radiation image detecting apparatus after the radiation image data is successfully received,

wherein the radiation image detecting apparatus comprising;

an image storing section for storing the generated radiation image data for at least one set of radiographing;

a second transmitting section for transmitting, to the console, the radiation image data stored in the image storing section through wireless communication;

a second receiving section for receiving the reception success signal transmitted from the first transmitting section; and

a deletion control device for controlling so as to delete, from the image storing section, the radiation image data transmitted from the second transmitting section if the reception success signal is received by the second receiving section after the second transmitting section transmits the radiation image data.

2. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 1,

wherein the image storing section has a plurality of memory spaces in which the deletion control device can control to delete the radiation image data respectively.

3. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 1, further comprising,

a deletion instruction input section for inputting a deletion instruction of the radiation image data,

wherein the deletion control device deletes, from the image storing section, the radiation image data transmitted from the second transmitting section based on the deletion instruction inputted by the deletion instruction input section.

4. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 1,

wherein the console has a correlating device for correlating the radiation image detecting apparatus to be used for radiographing with the radiographing order information relating to the radiographing.

5. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 4,

wherein the second transmitting section transmits the radiation image data to the console correlated by the correlating device.

6. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 5, comprising:

a plurality of consoles; and

a selecting device for selecting an alternative console different from the correlated console as a transmitting destination of the radiation image data if the second receiving section does not receive the reception success signal within a predetermined time after the second transmitting section transmits the radiation image data.

7. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 6,

wherein an ID is allocated to each of the plurality of consoles and the selecting device selects a console as the alternative console, an ID allocated to the console being next to an ID allocated to:

the correlated console.

8. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 6,

wherein the second transmitting section transmits the radiation image data to the alternative console selected by the selecting device.

9. The radiation image radiographing system of claim 6, further comprising:

a server for storing the ID allocated to each of the plurality of consoles, the server having the selecting device.

10. A radiation image detecting apparatus being portable and capable of transmitting radiation image data generated by detecting a radiation having passed through a subject, to a console in which a radiographing order information relating to radiographing has been registered, the radiation image detecting apparatus comprising:

an imaging panel for generating the radiation image data by detecting a radiation having passed through a subject;

an image storing section for storing the radiation image data which is generated by the imaging panel for at least one set of radiographing;

an image data transmitting section for transmitting the radiation image data stored in the image storing section to the console through wireless communication;

a success signal receiving section for receiving a reception success signal indicating that the radiation image data has been successfully received by the console; and

a deletion control device for controlling to delete, from the image storing section, the radiation image data transmitted from the image data transmitting section if the reception success signal is received by the success signal receiving section after the image data transmitting section transmits the radiation image data.

11. The radiation image detecting apparatus of claim 10,

wherein the image storing section has a plurality of memory spaces in which the deletion control device can control to delete the radiation image data respectively.

12. The radiation image detecting apparatus of claim 10, further comprising,

a deletion instruction input section for inputting a deletion instruction of the radiation image data,

wherein the deletion control device deletes, from the image storing section, the radiation image data transmitted from the image data transmitting section based on the deletion instruction inputted by the deletion instruction input section.

13. The radiation image detecting apparatus of claim 10,

wherein the image data transmitting section transmits the radiation image data to an alternative console if the success signal receiving section does not receive the reception success signal within a predetermined time after the image data transmitting section transmits the radiation image data.
