METHOD OF USING A MATCHED FILTER FOR DETECTING QRS COMPLEX FROM A PATIENT UNDERGOING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

摘要

The QRS complex template (55) is compared with the continuous in time ECG signal (60) from the same patient and each time a threshold is exceeded, a trigger pulse is sent by the trigger (85) to the MRI (80) to indicate that the MRI should begin a particular kind of data acquisition or update a type of data acquisition.
