  • Patent number: 6198837
    Abstract: Image information recorded on a sheet-shaped recording medium is read and converted into digital image data, wherein the image information includes medical image information and image information used for orientation discrimination and the image information for orientation discrimination is recorded at a predetermined position on the sheet-shaped recording medium. The position of the image information for orientation discrimination on the sheet-shaped arrangement of digital image data corresponding to the sheet-shaped recording medium is recognized. Then, the mounted orientation of the sheet-shaped recording medium is discriminated on the basis of the recognized position of the image information for orientation discrimination on the sheet-shaped data arrangement of digital image data.
