The subject matter disclosed herein relates to patient imaging systems, and more specifically, to portable X-ray imaging systems. In a first embodiment, a patient imaging system is presented. The patient imaging system includes an X-ray source configured to emit X-rays and a wireless X-ray detector configured to detect the emitted X-rays and acquire patient image data. The patient imaging system also includes an acquisition control system configured to initialize and prepare the patient imaging system for X-ray emission and detection. The acquisition control system is also configured to receive the acquired patient image data from the X-ray detector, and to non-deterministically control the operation of the X-ray source and the wireless X-ray detector. The patient imaging system also includes one or more user interfaces configured to instruct the acquisition control system when a user is ready for the patient imaging system to initialize, to prepare for X-ray emission and detection, and to begin X-ray emission and detection.
