A method for determining quality of sinograms produced by a medical imaging device. The method may include placing a uniform phantom object in the field of view of the medical imaging device; acquiring one or more phantom sinograms of the uniform phantom object; establish a set of parameters for the acquired one or more phantom sinograms; and determine, based on pre-set ranges of the parameters, the quality of sinograms produced by the medical imaging device. The parameters may be one or more parameters of a group of parameters consisting of block uniformity, block efficiency, randoms rate, scanner efficiency, and scatter ratio.
