Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system and method for medical imaging. The method may include: move, by a motion controller, a phantom along an axis of a scanner to a plurality of phantom positions; acquire, by a scanner of the imaging device, a first set of PET data relating to the phantom at the plurality of phantom positions; and store the first set of PET data as an electrical file. The length of an axis of the phantom may be shorter than the length of an axis of the scanner, and at least one of the plurality of phantom positions may be inside a bore of the scanner.
