A mammographic apparatus comprises an identification information reader and the
identification information reader transmits the cassette identification information
read by the identification information reader together with the radiography execution
information to the control apparatus, in the control apparatus, it becomes possible
to automatically correlate the radiographic order information and the radiography
execution information based on the cassette ID (identification information). Accordingly,
since the radiologist can eliminate the selection work to select of the radiographic
order information for correlating the radiography execution information prior to
the radiography, the efficiency of radiographic work can be improved. In the case
of mammography which conducts a plurality of radiographs with different radiographic
body parts with different radiographic directions, since the selection operation
can be eliminated, the radiologist does not need to move the control apparatus
for a selection operation and especially, the efficiency of radiographic work can
be improved.
