Abstract
Abstract A radiation image information processing system subjects a radiation image to certain signal processing so as to obtain image signal and generates a visible image from the image signal. A support apparatus for the system is composed principally of a control unit, a radiation signal storage unit, a display and a keyboard. When a fault occurs in the radiation image information processing system, a support apparatus is connected to a control apparatus of the system. The fault of the system is detected by the support system, which generates a fault detection signal. An image signal which leads to occurrence of the fault or the like is stored in a memory and thereafter, the analysis of the fault is carried out based on the contents stored. In view of the analyzed contents, the fault is removed and hence the system is recovered.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A support apparatus for use with a radiation image information processing system, said support apparatus being connected to a radiation image information processing system which subjects a radiation image to certain signal processing so as to obtain an image signal and generates a visible image from the image signal, said support apparatus comprising: a control unit, coupled to said radiation image information processing system, for establishing image processing parameters for use by said radiation image information processing system for establishing gradation processing and frequency processing, wherein said image processing parameters provide adjustment to said radiation image information processing system; parameter establishing means, connected to said control unit, for establishing image processing parameters relative to the image signal employed in the radiation image information processing system; and image signal storing means, coupled to said control unit, for storing image signals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A support apparatus for use with a radiation image information processing system, said support apparatus being connected to a radiation image information processing system which subjects a radiation image to certain signal processing so as to obtain an image signal and generates a visible image from the image signal, said support apparatus comprising: a control unit, coupled to said radiation image information processing system, for establishing image processing parameters for use by said radiation image information processing system for establishing gradation processing and frequency processing, wherein said image processing parameters provide adjustment to said radiation image information processing system; parameter establishing means, connected to said control unit, for establishing image processing parameters relative to the image signal employed in the radiation image information processing system; and image signal storing means, coupled to said control unit, for storing image signals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
150 words
The support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said image signal storing means comprises: storing means for storing a reference image signal supplied from the radiation image information processing system, image signal supplying means for supplying the image signal stored in the storing means to said radiation image information processing system which generates the visible image, and wherein said control unit comprises: transfer recognizing means for recognizing a time for transferring the image signal from said radiation image information processing system to said storing means in said image signal storing means as said reference image signal, means for initiating the transfer of the image signal to said storing means, and means for selectively reading out said reference image signal from said storing means to said radiation image information processing system for processing to produce a visible image from which said image processing parameters are established by said parameter establishing means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said storing means includes an image memory, and wherein said parameter establishing means includes a keyboard.
