Abstract
Radiation imaging detectors, systems, and methods for radiation imaging are disclosed. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for radiation imaging is disclosed. The code can include instructions executable by a processor to detect a connection status of an electrical connection between a radiation detector and a dock, enter an autonomous trigger mode in response to detection of the electrical connection being disconnected, and automatically acquire images through the radiation detector while the radiation detector is in the autonomous trigger mode.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for radiation imaging, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
- detect a connection status of an electrical connection between a radiation detector and a dock;
- enter an autonomous trigger mode in response to detection of the electrical connection being disconnected;
- and
- automatically acquire images through the radiation detector while the radiation detector is in the autonomous trigger mode.
A method of radiation imaging, the method comprising:
- detecting a status of an electrical connection between a radiation detector and a dock;
- and
- transferring images from the radiation detector through the electrical connection upon detecting the radiation detector has been electrically connected to the dock.
A radiation detector comprising:
- a housing;
- an imaging array within the housing;
- a connector in the housing, the connector comprising at least 26 pins;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the imaging array, the connector, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- adjust a mode of the radiation detector based on a connection status of the connector;
- acquire images from the imaging array based on the mode;
- and
- store the images to the memory.
