Abstract
A position sensor has one or more fiducials formed of radio-opaque material and mounted along a surface of a radio-translucent body. A sensor element is coupled to the radio-translucent body and is spaced apart from the one or more fiducials and is energizable to acquire image content during receipt of exposure energy from an X-ray source to the position sensor. The sensor element is in signal communication with a processor and is energizable to generate data that is indicative of a relative position of the X-ray source. A radio-opaque covering is coupled against an outer surface of the radio-translucent body.
