Abstract:
1. A method for generating a trigger signal for a magnetic resonance measurement by an EKG signal, comprising: capturing a plurality of EKG signals from a plurality of different EKG channels prior to the magnetic resonance measurement; calculating a first trigger instance by processing a combination of at least two EKG signals captured from at least two EKG channels of the plurality of different EKG channels prior to the magnetic resonance measurement; calculating a further trigger instance by processing a further combination of at least two EKG signals captured from at least two EKG channels of the plurality of different EKG channels prior to the magnetic resonance measurement, wherein one of the at least two EKG channel for calculating the first trigger instance is different from one of the at least two EKG channel for calculating the further trigger instance; and selecting the trigger signal from the first and the further trigger instances for triggering the magnetic resonance measurement to record a magnetic resonance image.
