1. A computer implemented method to quantify X-ray scanner system's image quality impact by a candidate tray, the method comprising:
executing by at least a processor in a computer, at least one code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium which causes the computer to control an X-ray scanner system to quantify candidate tray impact, comprising:
collecting baseline image data for the X-ray scanner system that comprises characteristic image quality data collected from a plurality of certified trays that have been scanned with a plurality of selected tray inserts;
collecting one or more candidate trays image data for the X-ray scanner system that comprises characteristic image quality data collected from the one or more candidate trays that have been scanned with a same plurality of selected tray inserts;
extracting image quality metrics for both the baseline image data and the one or more candidate trays image data;
performing statistical analysis using the image quality metrics within a volume of interest from both the baseline image data and the candidate trays image data; and
reporting or certifying the one or more candidate tray suitable for use in the X-ray scanner system based on the image quality metrics of the one or more candidate tray falling within a mean and a standard deviation of CTN values within the volume of interest.
