Abstract:
1. A method for triggering a measurement of a magnetic resonance device, comprising: detecting a first electrocardiogram signal and a second electrocardiogram signal of a patient via a first channel and a second channel of an ECG respectively; processing the first electrocardiogram signal in a first processing branch of a triggering device by: processing the first electrocardiogram signal in a second processing branch of the triggering device by: repeatly processing the second electrocardiogram signal in the first processing branch and the second processing branch of the triggering device for generating a first and a second comparison results of the second electrocardiogram signal; evaluating the first and the second comparison results of the first electrocardiogram signal and the first and the second comparison results of the second electrocardiogram signal in a weighted logic circuit; and triggering the measurement of the magnetic resonance device by the triggering device based on the evaluation, wherein the threshold value is determined in a learning phase during which none or a negligible interference occur with the detection of the electrocardiograph signals.
