1. An x-ray imaging system comprising:

  • an x-ray detector configured to detect radiation emitted by an x-ray source and attenuated by a subject to be imaged, and provide an electrical output that may be processed for reconstruction of an image of the subject;

    at least one electronic sensor configured to detect gravitational loads placed on the x-ray detector;

    a controller configured to read out data from the at least one electronic sensor at predefined intervals and compare the gravitational load of a current reading of an electronic sensor to a threshold and illuminate an LED on the x-ray detector based on the comparison.
