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.
