1. A method comprising:

  • coupling a 3-axis gravity sensor to a portable x-ray detector;

    coupling a processor to the 3-axis gravity sensor and to a workstation, the processor being programmed to perform a processing method comprising;

    transmitting orientation information corresponding to a physical orientation of the portable x-ray detector determined using the 3-axis gravity sensor to the workstation; and

    generating, with the workstation, a command that instructs an operator to rotate the portable x-ray detector in at least one direction to align the portable x-ray detector with an x-ray source based on the physical orientation of the portable x-ray detector determined using the 3-axis gravity sensor.
