First Claim
Patent Images
1. A radiation image capturing system comprising:
- a radiation source for outputting a radiation;
a radiation detecting cassette housing therein a radiation conversion panel for detecting said radiation that has passed through a subject and converting the detected radiation into radiation image information;
an RFID tag mounted on the subject and storing subject ID information for identifying the subject;
an ID storage unit for storing a plurality of pieces of subject ID information;
an ID checker;
a radiation dose storage unit for storing radiation doses corresponding to the subject ID information;
said radiation detecting cassette comprising a first wireless communication unit; and
an image capturing apparatus having a second wireless communication unit for performing wireless communications with said first wireless communication unit, said radiation source being disposed in said image capturing apparatus;
wherein said first wireless communication unit receives the subject ID information from said RFID tag by way of wireless communications; and
wherein said ID checker checks the subject ID information received by said first wireless communication unit against the subject ID information stored in said ID storage unit, and if the subject ID information received by said first wireless communication unit matches one of the subject ID information stored in said ID storage unit, said ID checker associates the matching subject ID information with a radiation dose which is stored in said radiation dose storage unit and which corresponds to the matching subject ID information.

Abstract
A transceiver of a radiation detecting cassette receives subject ID information from an RFID tag by way of wireless communications. An ID checker checks the subject ID information received by the transceiver against a plurality of subject ID information stored in an RFID memory. If the subject ID information received by the transceiver matches one of the subject ID information stored in the RFID memory, then the ID checker associates the matching subject ID information with a radiation dose that is stored in a dose storage unit and corresponds to the matching subject ID information.
