Abstract
A recording sheet usage count evaluation method enabling, even when plural radiation imaging apparatuses and plural radiographic image reading apparatuses exist, accurate evaluation of cumulative working frequencies of recording sheets commonly used in those apparatuses. The method includes the steps of (a) receiving recording sheet identification information with image data from a radiographic image reading apparatus; (b) counting a usage count of each recording sheet on a basis of the recording sheet identification information received at step (a), weighting a count value in accordance with a set condition, and accumulating the weighted count value to store the accumulated count value in correspondence with the recording sheet identification information; and (c) calculating a total count value for each recording sheet by referring to count values stored in other medical image processing apparatuses and adding the count values to the count value stored at step (b).
