Abstract
Prediction of extrema in respiratory motion and related systems, methods, and devices is disclosed. A method of detecting extrema in respiratory motion includes generating a predicted motion trajectory of respiratory motion, identifying one or more extrema candidates of the motion of the patient responsive to the predicted motion trajectory, and selecting one or more of the one or more extrema candidates to be one or more predicted extrema of the respiratory motion of the patient. An apparatus includes an input terminal configured to receive a respiratory waveform signal and one or more processors configured to generate predictions of extrema of the respiratory waveform signal before occurrences of the extrema. An imaging system includes a gating signal generator configured to predict extrema of a respiratory waveform and an imaging device configured to capture images of a patient responsive to a respiratory gating signal from the gating signal generator.
