Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for x-ray imaging configured to use a digital radiography receiver in an x-ray imaging system of a type configured for film or computed radiography, comprising: a generator interface channel to communicate with an x-ray system of an x-ray imaging system; an operator interface channel to communicate with an operator control to receive at least a first, preparation signal and a second, expose signal; an interface component installed as a retrofit to the x-ray imaging system, the interface component comprising, a receiver interface channel to communicate with a digital radiography receiver, a sensor positioned operatively near the x-ray system of the x-ray imaging system to output signals corresponding to detected x-ray exposure on or detected x-ray exposure off, and a programmed control logic processor that, when the first mode setting is selected, responds to the output signals from the sensor by outputting integration control signals for an integration of the digital radiography receiver over the receiver interface channel.
