Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système de capture d'image de rayonnement qui permet une transmission de données d'image à une console existant à la position la plus proche d'un détecteur d'image de rayonnement. Le système de capture d'image de rayonnement (1) comporte une pluralité d'espaces d'imagerie (R), le détecteur d'image de rayonnement (2) comportant un milieu de mémorisation (28) dans lequel une pluralité d'éléments de données d'image peuvent être mémorisés, une pluralité de consoles (C) destinées à générer des images de rayonnement en se basant sur les données d'image transmises, un serveur de gestion de données (S) qui gère la délivrance des données d'image entre le détecteur d'image de rayonnement (2) et les consoles (C) et un moyen de détection de position (6) capable de détecter la position actuelle du détecteur d'image de rayonnement (2). Lorsque le transfert des données d'image est demandé à partir du détecteur d'image de rayonnement (2), le serveur de gestion de données (S) exécute une commande de sélection de la console (C) la plus proche de la position actuelle du détecteur d'image de rayonnement (2) en se basant sur les informations liées à la position actuelle du détecteur d'image de rayonnement (2), et délivre à la console la plus proche (C) les données d'image transmises à partir du détecteur d'image de rayonnement (2).
