Fig. 4From: Initial evaluation of prospective cardiac triggering using photoplethysmography signals recorded with a video camera compared to pulse oximetry and electrocardiography at 7T MRIRelationship between ECG, PO PPG and vPPG signals. Typical fiducial points of the ECG and their position relative to the cardiac cycle are shown. The systole lasts from the R-wave to the T-wave, followed by the diastole until the next R-wave. The PO PTT (pulse transmit time) is usually measured from the ECG R-wave to the beginning of the next PO rise. Triggers computed by the MRI-vendor-provided software on the basis of the PO signal are marked by black dots Back to article page
