Abstract：Objective To make a research on a fingerprint-based automatic patient identification system,
which was mainly used in the field of tumor radiotherapy, to improve the identification accuracy of
patients’ identity for the medical staff and to ensure the safety of patients. Methods According to the
radiation therapy process and the demand of the patient identity automatic identification, a research on
the process of the patient identification was made so as to design a related hardware system and develop a
patient identification system based on automatic fingerprint identification technology. Results Altogether
12500 times of automatic identification tests in 500 patients were carried out. The results showed that
the false acceptance rate was 0, and the false rejection rate was 1.2%. Conclusion The automatic patient
identification system based on fingerprint was easy to be integrated into existing radiation treatment
process and could effectively improve the accuracy of identification of patients’ identify, which has high
practical value in ensuring the patients’ safety.
