A framework for aligning images from a multi-modality imaging system. A first image of a phantom positioned on a patient table may be acquired using a first camera of first modality in the multi-modality imaging system. The phantom may include first and second hot rods, as well as first, second and third cold rods. The first and second hot rods are disposed in a plane that is substantially orthogonal to a travel vector of the patient table, while the first and second cold rods are substantially orthogonal to the travel vector, and the third cold rod is substantially parallel to the travel vector. A second image of the phantom may be acquired using a second camera of second modality in the multi-modality imaging system. Misalignment parameters of the first and second cameras may be determined based on the first and second images.
An imaging phantom for alignment of medical images acquired by a multi-modality imaging system, comprising:
