Abstract
A method includes determining a heart beat signal during acquisition of MR images obtained at a plurality of cardiac cycles; determining at least one physiological parameter of a heart obtained at the plurality of cardiac cycles; determining a model including, determining, in each of the cardiac cycles, a variable time interval of variable duration and at least one additional time interval based on the heart beat signal and the at least one physiological parameter, the at least one additional time interval having a lower variability in duration than the variable time interval; determining a duration of the variable time interval and a duration of the cardiac cycle for each of the cardiac cycles based on the heart beat signal and the at least one physiological parameter; and assigning the MR images to the different cardiac phases based on the variable time interval and each of the cardiac cycles.
