Above all, a radiographic imaging apparatus uses a medical image conversion panel in which a stimulable phosphor layer is formed on a support, and the stimulable phosphor layer of the conversion panel absorbs radiation transmitted through a subject. Then, a radiation image corresponding to the radiation transmittance of each part of the subject is accumulated to form a latent image. Thereafter, by scanning this phosphor layer with stimulating excitation light such as infrared rays, the accumulated radiation energy is emitted as fluorescence and the fluorescence is photoelectrically converted to obtain a medical image signal. The medical image obtained in this manner is subjected to image processing and then output to a film or an output device such as a CRT for visualization, or stored in a filing device such as a server together with patient information and used for medical activities.

In this system, an image can be read at the same time as shooting in a shooting room.
[0005]
The other is a mobile imaging device for rounds for patients who cannot take images in the radiography room, such as patients with fractures or cerebrovascular disease, or patients being managed in an intensive care unit, and a phosphor. This is a medical image photographing system that performs photographing at a roundabout using a portable cassette having a built-in plate (for example, see Patent Document 1). In this system, a cassette is inserted into a reading device dedicated to a cassette after photographing, and a photographed image is read.
[0006]
In such a medical image photographing system, as described above, a plurality of devices such as a photographing reading device installed in a photographing room, a movable photographing device, and a reading device dedicated to a cassette are used. Therefore, even when different photographing apparatuses and reading apparatuses are used, information necessary for image processing is added to photographed image data as supplementary information so that medical images can be provided with the same image quality (for example, Patent Document 2). Alternatively, a medical information control device capable of editing additional information to be added to image data in order to provide such a system with expandability is known (for example, see Patent Document 3).
