The present technique provides a method and system for centering a radiographic imaging system to provide minimal non-diagnostic radiation to a patient. The present technique incorporates a radio-opaque template that is substantially aligned to a light field produced from a light source. The present technique also incorporates a processing module that determines an offset distance from the features of the template to features detectable in data from an x-ray exposure. A processing module determines the offset distance utilizing an algorithm for recognizing the radio-opaque features and determining distances between the features and the detected edges or similar features of the exposure.
