A fault checker system for an X-ray detector, comprising an input interface (IN) for receiving readings acquired by a target detector pixel not exposed to X-radiation. A converter (CV) is configured to convert the readings into a metric. A thresholder (CP) is configured to compare the metric against at least one threshold and, based on the comparing, provide an indication on whether the detector pixel is faulty.
