Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To synchronize various activities of an imaging system over a wireless communication link, in a portable patient imaging system including a wireless X-ray detector.SOLUTION: The patient imaging system (10) includes an X-ray source (14) and the wireless X-ray detector (18) configured to detect the X-rays and acquire patient image data, and also includes an acquisition control system (12) configured to initialize and prepare the patient imaging system (10) for X-ray emission and detection. The acquisition control system (12) is also configured to receive the acquired patient image data, and to non-deterministically control the operation of the X-ray source (14) and the wireless X-ray detector (18). A user uses one or more user interfaces (16, 20) configured to instruct the acquisition control system (12) when the user is ready for the patient imaging system (10) to initialize, to prepare for X-ray emission and detection, and to begin X-ray emission and detection.
