Various tray inserts, methods and algorithm for certifying candidate trays for use in an X-ray scanner system are discussed. The tray insert includes at least a body having multiple parts positioned for generation of image quality metrics for tray impact evaluation in; a first cover and a second cover disposed at opposite ends to fix and secure the body. The method including running an algorithm to control an X-ray system to collect baseline image data from certified trays, collecting candidate tray image data, extracting image quality metrics for both the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data, and performing statistical analysis using and comparing image quality metrics from the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data to certify the candidate tray based on the statistical and comparison results.
