Abstract
A method is for medical imaging of a patient using a medical imaging system with ECG triggering. In an embodiment, the method includes capturing a respiration signal of the patient including n respiration cycles; concurrently capturing an ECG signal of the patient including m heartbeat intervals; determining a respiration-dependent heartbeat model based upon the n respiration cycles and the m heartbeat intervals; specifying at least one trigger time-point based upon the respiration-dependent heartbeat model; and starting the medical imaging at the specified trigger time-point.
