Abstract:
An x-ray system includes an x-ray tube having an anode and a cathode, a sensor configured to sense a condition that results from an operation of the x-ray tube, and a communication device for transmitting a signal to a panel based at least in part on the sensed condition, the panel configured to receive radiation and generate image signals in response to the received radiation. An imaging method includes sensing a condition that results from an operation of an x-ray tube, and transmitting a signal to a panel in response to the sensed condition, wherein the panel is configured to generate image signals in response to radiation, and includes a plurality of image elements.
