Method for making radiographs with direct radiographic panels
View Patent ↗A method for performing a job list of radiographic recordings indicated in a radiographic information systems includes communicating the job list to a mobile apparatus, e.g. a smartphone, whereby, in a first step, a peer-to-peer communication is set up between the radiographic information system and the mobile apparatus by a Near Field Communication technique, whereupon the job list is transmitted to the mobile apparatus via a WIFI peer-to-peer communication. A radiographer then completes the job list by using, inter alia, a self-triggering direct radiographic panel and a radiographic generator.
1. A method for performing radiographic jobs included in a radiographic job list in a radiographic information system, the method comprising the steps of:
communicating the job list from the radiographic information system to a mobile apparatus;
performing a radiographic exposure corresponding to one of the radiographic jobs included in the job list and storing a radiographic image on a direct radiographic panel;
inspecting the radiographic image on a display of the mobile apparatus before proceeding to a next one of the radiographic jobs included in the job list; and
communicating the radiographic image stored on the direct radiographic panel to an image management and communication system; wherein
the job list is communicated from the radiographic information system to the mobile apparatus by setting up, in a first step, a peer-to-peer communication between the radiographic information system and the mobile apparatus by using a Near Field Communication technique, and, in a second step, the radiographic image is transmitted from the direct radiographic panel to the mobile apparatus via a WIFI peer-to-peer communication.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the job list includes at least information including: demographic data of a patient for whom a radiograph is to be made, and adjustment parameters for a radiographic recording listed in the job list.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the direct radiographic panel is a self-triggering radiographic panel.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the direct radiographic panel is a wireless self-triggering panel.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of inspecting the radiographic image on a display of the mobile apparatus is performed based on a preview of the radiographic image.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the preview of the radiographic image has been subjected to an offset and gain correction.
7. The method according claim 1 , wherein the job list is communicated to the mobile apparatus from a radiographic workstation that is operationally connected to the radiographic information system.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before proceeding to the next one of the radiographic jobs included in the job list, an identity of a patient is indicated according to demographic data included in the job list.
