WIRELESS X-RAY DETECTOR OPERATION COORDINATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for coordinating operation of X-ray detectors in a wireless X-ray system, comprising:
- detecting a plurality of wireless X-ray detectors within an operative range of an X-ray base station, a first of the X-ray detectors having an active status corresponding to a designation of the first X-ray detector as a desired recipient of radiation during a current X-ray imaging sequence, and a second X-ray detector having a status different from the active status;
determining the current status of each detected X-ray detector; and
displaying on a user-viewable screen a visual indication of the status of each detected X-ray detector.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for coordinating operation of X-ray detectors in a wireless X-ray system includes detecting multiple wireless X-ray detectors within an operative range of an X-ray base station, the detected X-ray detectors each having one of multiple possible statuses, including an active status corresponding to a designation of the X-ray detector as a desired recipient of radiation during a current X-ray imaging sequence, an inactive status corresponding to a designation of the X-ray detector as not the desired recipient of radiation during a current X-ray imaging sequence, and an unenabled status corresponding to the X-ray detector not being configured to operate with the X-ray base station. The method also includes determining the current status of each detected X-ray detector and displaying on a user-viewable screen a visual indication of the status of each detected X-ray detector.
