In one embodiment, a method for coordinating operation of X-ray detectors (14) in a wireless X-ray system (10) includes detecting multiple wireless X-ray detectors (14) within an operative range of an X-ray base station (12), the detected X-ray detectors (14) each having one of multiple possible statuses, including an active status corresponding to a designation of the X-ray detector (14) as a desired recipient of radiation during a current X-ray imaging sequence, an inactive status corresponding to a designation of the X-ray detector (14) as not the desired recipient of radiation during a current X-ray imaging sequence, and an unenabled status corresponding to the X-ray detector (14) not being configured to operate with the X-ray base station (12). The method also includes determining the current status of each detected X-ray detector (14) and displaying on a user-viewable screen (74, 84, 102) a visual indication of the status of each detected X-ray detector (14).
