1. A method for imaging an object, said method comprising:
- radiating the object of interest;
selecting an active area and an inactive area on an imaging detector;
determining when the radiation of the object is completed using information received from the inactive area of the imaging detector; and
reconstructing an image of the object using information received from the active area of the imaging detector.

Abstract
A method for imaging an object includes radiating the object of interest and sensing the radiation that penetrates through the object using a detector having at least one active area and at least one inactive area, determining when the radiation is completed using information received from the inactive area of the imaging detector, and reconstructing an image of the object using information received from the active area of the imaging detector. A medical imaging system and a computer-readable medium are also provided.

11. A medical imaging system comprising:
-
a portable X-ray detector configured to receive X-rays from an X-ray source; and a detector controller coupled to the portable X-ray detector, the detector controller configured to; determine when an X-ray exposure of an object has been initiated; select an active area and an inactive area on an imaging detector; determine when the X-ray exposure is completed using information received from the inactive area of the imaging detector; and reconstruct an image of the object using information received from the active area of the imaging detector. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A tangible and non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a program configured to:
-
determine when an X-ray exposure of an object has been initiated; select an active area and an inactive area on an imaging detector; determine when the exposure is completed using information received from the inactive area of the imaging detector; and reconstruct an image of the object using information received from the active area of the imaging detector. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
