providing an X-ray system comprising:
an X-ray source;
an X-ray detector positionable in alignment with the X-ray ray source; and
a processing unit operably connected to the X-ray source and the X-ray detector to produce X-ray images from data transmitted from the X-ray detector, wherein the processing unit includes an X-ray image information detection system configured to detect an anatomy present in the X-ray images, and one or more of a view, an orientation and/or laterality present in the X-ray images;
applying the X-ray image information detection system to the X-ray images; and
providing an output from the X-ray image information detection system with information regarding the X-ray image,
