Abstract
A method and system for accurately determining the SID (source-image-distance) in a radiography configuration with a wireless radiographic detector, and a method and system for determining the thickness of a patient in a radiography configuration. The method for determining the SID is based on a method to accurately determine distances between a set of generator arrays and sensor arrays. The generator arrays and sensor arrays are preferably orthogonally arranged magnetic field generators and sensors that allow measurements of distances without being affected by presence of human tissue between the generator and sensor arrays.
