The invention relates to a system that comprises an X-ray imaging device for capturing an X-ray image on an imaging film, and a device for reading out said imaging film. According to the invention, the imaging film comprises a data carrier, and said X-ray imaging device and/or readout device comprises a data device that has a write/read device for writing, on said data carrier, imaging parameters relating to the X-ray image capture and for reading information that is stored on said data carrier, said write/read device being configured to transmit the read information to the readout device such that the imaging parameters in force when capturing the X-ray image are available to the readout device for an imaging film readout. The invention also relates to a method for providing information for a readout device.
