Abstract: The invention relates to an image carrier for the storage of X-ray information, as well as a corresponding system and method for the processing of such an image carrier. In order to improve the reliability when taking account of the sensitivity of the image carrier to X-radiation, the image carrier includes an electronic memory for the storage of calibration data of the image carrier that represent a measure of the sensitivity of the image carrier to X-radiation and can be used in a processing of image signals that are obtained on a reading of the X-ray information from the image carrier.
