A method, comprising:
- generating an automatic exposure control (AEC) signal from an AEC chamber within a housing and separate from an imaging array within the housing;
- and
- generating an image using the imaging array within the housing in response to the AEC signal.
An x-ray system, comprising:
- an x-ray detector including an automatic exposure control (AEC) chamber disposed within the x-ray detector and separate from an imaging array of the x-ray detector;
- an x-ray generator;
- and
- a control system;
- wherein the control system is configured to:
- receive AEC signals from the x-ray detector;
- and
- change an operation of the x-ray generator in response to the AEC signals.
