Methods and systems are provided for aligning components of a multi-modality imaging system. In one embodiment, a method comprises performing a plurality of scans of an object with a first modality and a second modality, wherein the object is positioned in a different orientation in each of the plurality of scans, calculating a plurality of alignment parameters of a first modality unit and a second modality unit based on the plurality of scans, and adjusting alignment of the first modality unit and the second modality unit based on the plurality of alignment parameters. In this way, components of a multi-modality imaging system may be accurately aligned using any phantom from which a unique line can be extracted in each modality scan.
