DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an X-ray film storage device for organizing and storing X-ray films.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art X-ray imaging is widely used, especially in the medical field, and after the X-ray film has been developed,
It is stored in an X-ray film storage device such as a file, a holder, or a slide frame and stored.

[0003] Among the X-ray film storage devices, there is a X-ray film storage device manufactured using a translucent sheet. Diagnosis and observation are performed by irradiating a light beam from behind with the film storage device. It is possible.

[0004]

In a film storage device of this type, when diagnosing and observing a portion appearing on an X-ray film, the film storage device is required to accurately understand its size and positional relationship. It was necessary to take it out of the hospital and diagnose and observe it using other instruments and devices.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a film storage device that can accurately and easily diagnose and observe the size and positional relationship of a portion appearing on a film while the film is stored. The task is to

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided, in accordance with the present invention, a window having a scale formed on a transparent member and an adhesive layer having an adhesive applied to portions other than the window. The X-ray film storage device was constituted by a sheet member having the following.

The developed X-ray film is affixed between the X-ray film container of the present invention and a light-transmitting mount. The X-ray film is located at the window. By simply storing the X-ray film in this way, the observer can see the scale superimposed on the X-ray film, whereby the size and positional relationship of the diagnosis location can be accurately and easily understood.

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a view showing an example of an embodiment of the present invention. Here, a storage device for a dental X-ray film will be described as an example.

[0009] The X-ray film container 2 includes a transparent sheet 4
(For example, a transparent sheet of polyvinyl chloride), and a window 8 is formed on the front side (the side in FIG. 1A) of the sheet 4 to which a grid mark 6 of 1 mm unit is applied by, for example, printing. The portion other than the window portion 8 on the front side of the sheet 4 is colored, and in this example, it is printed in a dark color (for example, gray or black slightly darker than the X-ray film) to form a dark printing portion 10.
The window 8 is formed slightly smaller than the dental X-ray film F (3 × 4 cm).

Above the dark printing section 10, a data entry section 12 is printed in white, for example. Data entry section 1
In 2, data such as the patient's name, gender, date of imaging, and site of imaging can be entered.

On the back side of the sheet 4 (the side in FIG. 1C),
An adhesive layer 14 formed by applying an adhesive to portions other than the window 8 is formed. The adhesive layer 14 is covered with a release paper (not shown) or the like as necessary.

Next, a method of using the storage device 2 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1C, the X-ray film F is adhered to the adhesive layer 14 on the back side of the X-ray film container 2 so as to match the window 8. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the X-ray film storage device 2 is
Paste on 6. X-ray film F is film storage device 2
Is fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the sheet and the mount 16.

In this manner, the dental film F can be firmly fixed to the backing paper 16 and the film F can be superimposed on the scale 6 for observation, whereby the state of the individual teeth and the positional relationship between the teeth can be obtained. Etc. can be grasped more accurately. In addition, it is also possible to measure teeth (such as root canal length). The color of the scale 6 is not particularly limited, and may be determined according to the state of the developed film F. In the case of a general monochrome film, using a gray scale makes it easy to observe in harmony with the film.

When it is desired to start measurement at a certain cylinder point in the film F, the film F may be positioned so that the scale 6 matches the start point, whereby the length can be measured accurately. When it is desired to increase the accuracy of the measurement, the scale 6 may be made finer and more precise. The scale 6 is not limited to the grid scale, and a scale of another shape (radial scale or the like) may be used according to the purpose.

FIG. 3 shows another example of the X-ray film storage device. In this example, the X-ray film storage device 18 is folded next to the window portion 8 so as to cover the window portion 8 and has translucency. A (transparent or translucent) backing plate portion 20 is provided. Other configurations are the same as those in FIG. The contact plate portion 20 is bent rearward at a bending line 22 indicated by a broken line. As shown in FIG. 4, the film F is sandwiched between the sheet 4 and the backing plate 20, and the backing plate 20 is adhered to the adhesive layer 14, and the film F is fixed.

In this manner, the dental film F can be fixed and the film F can be superimposed on the scale 6 and observed without using the mount 16 as in the example of FIG. The same effect as that of the storage device can be obtained. Further, the film container 18 can be used as a slide.

In the above example, the window 8 is formed integrally with the sheet 4, but the present invention is not limited to this, and both may be formed separately. In the above example, the window 8 and the adhesive layer 14 are provided on different sides of the sheet 4, but may be provided on the same side.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The size and positional relationship of the image appearing on the X-ray film can be accurately and easily grasped while the X-ray film is stored. In addition, measurements related to teeth (such as root canal length) can be easily performed.
