System for verifying data integrity in an X-ray imaging system
First Claim
1. An error detection system for use by an image processing subsystem for detecting error in processing medical image data by a plurality of sequential subsystems, comprising:
- an image data processor in said image processing subsystem for,analyzing data representing a medical image to identify a sequence identifier associated with a subsystem preceding said image processing subsystem of said plurality of sequential subsystems and identifying a position of the image relative to other images in an image sequence comprising a plurality of consecutive images;
using the identified sequence identifier to detect an error in response to identifying at least one of,an unreadable sequence identifier anda missing sequence identifier;
incorporating a sequence identifier, in image data representing an area of the image associated with said image processing subsystem; and
initiating generation of an alert message in response to a detected error.

Abstract
An error detection system is used by an image processing subsystem for detecting error in processing medical image data by multiple sequential subsystems using an image data processor. The image data processor in the image processing subsystem analyzes data representing a medical image to identify a sequence identifier associated with a subsystem preceding the image processing subsystem of the multiple sequential subsystems and identifies a position of the image relative to other images in an image sequence comprising multiple consecutive images. The image data processor uses the identified sequence identifier to detect an error in response to identifying at least one of, an unreadable sequence identifier and a missing sequence identifier. The image data processor incorporates a sequence identifier, in image data representing an area of the image associated with the image processing subsystem and initiates generation of an alert message in response to a detected error.
