ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique

An ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique is a cardiac imaging technique that synchronizes ecg-gated cardiac ct acquisition with ecg-gated cardiac electrical cycle to minimize ecg-gated cardiac motion artifact.

• AKA: Cardiac-Gated CT, ECG-Synchronized CT, Electrocardiographic Gating.
• Context:
  • It can typically trigger ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Scanners using ecg-gated cardiac r-wave detection.
  • It can typically produce ECG-Gated Cardiac Motion-Free Images during ecg-gated cardiac diastolic phase.
  • It can typically optimize ECG-Gated Cardiac Radiation Dose through ecg-gated cardiac dose modulation.
  • It can typically enable ECG-Gated Cardiac Functional Analysis via ecg-gated cardiac multi-phase reconstruction.
  • It can typically require ECG-Gated Cardiac Heart Rate Control for ecg-gated cardiac optimal imaging.
  • ...
  • It can often utilize ECG-Gated Cardiac Arrhythmia Rejection managing ecg-gated cardiac irregular rhythms.
  • It can often employ ECG-Gated Cardiac Phase Selection choosing ecg-gated cardiac optimal timing.
  • It can often incorporate ECG-Gated Cardiac Padding Algorithms compensating ecg-gated cardiac heart rate variability.
  • It can often support ECG-Gated Cardiac Dose Reduction through ecg-gated cardiac prospective triggering.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Prospective ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique to being a Retrospective ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique, depending on its ecg-gated cardiac acquisition strategy.
  • It can range from being a Single-Phase ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique to being a Multi-Phase ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique, depending on its ecg-gated cardiac temporal coverage.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with ECG-Gated Cardiac Lead Placement ensuring ecg-gated cardiac signal quality.
  • It can coordinate with ECG-Gated Cardiac Breath-Hold Commands maintaining ecg-gated cardiac position stability.
  • It can synchronize with ECG-Gated Cardiac Contrast Timing optimizing ecg-gated cardiac vessel opacification.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique Modes, such as:
    • Prospective ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Triggering using ecg-gated cardiac step-and-shoot protocol.
    • Retrospective ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Gating with ecg-gated cardiac continuous spiral acquisition.
    • ECG-Gated Cardiac High-Pitch Mode employing ecg-gated cardiac flash protocol.
  • ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique Applications, such as:
    • ECG-Gated Cardiac Coronary CTA for ecg-gated cardiac vessel visualization.
    • ECG-Gated Cardiac Calcium Scoring measuring ecg-gated cardiac plaque burden.
    • ECG-Gated Cardiac Function Assessment calculating ecg-gated cardiac ejection fraction.
  • ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Technique Components, such as:
    • ECG-Gated Cardiac Lead System providing ecg-gated cardiac electrical signal.
    • ECG-Gated Cardiac Trigger Module controlling ecg-gated cardiac scan timing.
    • ECG-Gated Cardiac Reconstruction Software creating ecg-gated cardiac phase-specific images.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Non-Gated Cardiac CT, which acquires non-gated continuous images without ecg-gated cardiac synchronization.
  • Respiratory-Gated CT, which tracks respiratory breathing motion rather than ecg-gated cardiac cycle.
  • Time-Resolved MRI, which uses mri sequence timing rather than ecg-gated cardiac electrical signal.
