A control system for use with an imaging system is provided. The control system includes a rotation sensor coupled to a rotating portion of a gantry of the imaging system. The rotation sensor includes a gyroscope configured to measure a rotation parameter of the gantry. The control system further includes a data acquisition system (DAS) coupled in communication with the rotation sensor and a detector of the imaging system. The DAS is configured to associate projection data from the detector with the measured rotation parameter.
