First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operation of an X-ray imaging system, comprising:
- creating an association between an autonomous imaging subsystem and an autonomous detector subsystem; and
providing a user-perceptible indication of the association on the autonomous imaging subsystem, the autonomous detector subsystem, or both.

Abstract
A method and a system are disclosed for operating an X-ray imaging subsystem with an X-ray imaging detector. Each subsystem may be one of many that could operate with one another to create X-ray images. An association is established between the imaging subsystem and the imaging detector, and a user-perceptible indication of the association is generated. The user may be prompted to confirm the association. Thereafter, the two subsystems may be used together for X-ray imaging. An X-ray source of the imaging subsystem may be disabled until the association is established or until the confirmation is received.

12. A method of operation of an X-ray imaging system, comprising:
-
associating an X-ray imaging subsystem and an X-ray detector subsystem; generating a user-perceptible indication of the association; receiving a user confirmation of the association; and imaging a subject with the X-ray imaging subsystem and the X-ray detector subsystem. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

17. An X-ray imaging system comprising:
-
an autonomous imaging subsystem capable of operation with one or a plurality of autonomous detector subsystems; a plurality of autonomous detector subsystems capable of operation with the autonomous imaging subsystem; and wherein at least one of the autonomous imaging subsystem and the autonomous detector subsystems is configured to create an operative association between the autonomous X-ray imaging subsystem and one of the autonomous detector subsystems, the association permitting wireless exchange of imaging data, and to generate a user-perceptible indication of the association. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
