Abstract:
1. A method for the use of a computed radiography system including at least one scanner for scanning flexible information carrier plates exposed to X-rays to obtain an X-ray image of a subject, the at least one scanner having a scanner RFID interrogator with a memory, the carrier plates having a RFID transponder with a memory storing a treatment case information, the treatment case information being transferable to the memory of the RFID transponder by at least one RFID interrogator, the method comprising: providing a license media having a license media RFID transponder with a memory for storing information; storing in the memory of the license media RFID transponder a first information which is associated with an amount of valid licenses permitting use of the at least one RFID interrogator and of the at least one scanner; storing in the memory of the license media RFID transponder a second information, which is associated with identification information of the at least one RFID interrogator; storing in the memory of the license media RFID transponder a third information, which is associated with the at least one scanner; transferring the first, second and third information to the memory of the scanner; transmitting to the memory of the scanner a treatment case information comprising identification information associated with the at least one RFID interrogator and the at least one scanner; comparing information transferred to the memory of the scanner from the license media with the treatment case information transmitted to the memory of the scanner; and scanning the exposed to X-rays carrier plates if the identification information transferred from the license media matches the identification information sent with the treatment case information.
