Abstract
In a diagnostic imaging system (), a monitor () monitors periodic biological cycles of the subject (). A trigger point detector () detects a time (t, t, . . . , tn) of a common, reoccurring reference point (R, R, . . . , Rn) in each periodic cycle of the subject (). A sequence selector () selects a sequence () of nominal sampling segments (Si, S, . . . , Sn). An adjustor () adjusts duration of each nominal sampling segment (Si, S, . . . , Sn) to coincide with the times of detected reference points (R, R, . . . , Rn). A scaling processor () scales each adjusted segment based on a difference in duration between the corresponding nominal (Si, S, . . . , Sn) and adjusted sampling segments (S'i, S′, . . . , S′n).
