A system for verifying the integrity of a radiation detector is provided. the system includes one or more data modules, one or more data lines, and a controller. The one or more data lines electronically connect one or more detector elements of the radiation detector to the one or more data modules. Each of the detector elements is operative to detect electromagnetic radiation. The controller is operative to induce a voltage in the one or more detector elements, obtain a reading from the one or more detector elements via the one or more data modules; and determine whether the integrity of the radiation detector has been compromised based at least in part on comparing the reading to a benchmark.
