A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions readable and executable by a workstation () including at least one electronic processor () to perform a quality control (QC) method (). The method includes: receiving a current QC data set acquired by a pixelated detector () and one or more prior QC data sets acquired by the pixelated detector; determining stability levels of detector pixels () of the pixelated detector over time from the current QC data set and the one or more prior QC data sets; labeling a detector pixel of the pixelated detector as dead when the stability level determined for the detector pixel is outside of a stability threshold range; and displaying, on a display device () operatively connected with the workstation, an identification () of the detector pixels labelled as dead.
