Abstract
A method for operating a cardiac CT imaging system () in coronary CT with prospective electrocardiography-triggering of the imaging system () is proposed. The method comprises the steps of determining a plurality of R-peak times (ti) from a dataset of electrocardiography data, determining a variability of a heart rate by statistically analyzing the determined R-peak times (ti), and automatically adjusting an acquisition time period (ΔT) of the CT imaging system () for acquiring projection data based on the determined variability of the heart rate.
