Abstract
A method for determining a CT focal point includes determining a first intensity of first radiation incident on a first detector unit of a scanner, wherein the scanner may include a non-uniform anti-scatter grid (ASG) and a radiation source, and the non-uniform ASG may be configured according to a first focal point of the radiation source. The method also includes determining a second intensity of second radiation incident on a second detector unit of the scanner, wherein the first radiation and the second radiation are emitted from the radiation source with a second focal point. The method further includes determining a displacement of the second focal point from the first focal point based on the first intensity and the second intensity.
