ECG and Respiration Gating
Eliminate Motion variability with ECG and Respiration Gating

Pause the Image at One Specific Time Within the Cardiac Cycle

Acquire data when the animal is not actively breathing

Accurate quantification in ultrasound often depends not only on having a great B-mode image but also on limiting movement within the field of view. ECG and respiration gating can pause the image at one specific time within the cardiac cycle and/or only acquire data when the animal is not actively breathing.

Gating is useful in the following applications:

 

Left ventricle in systole

B-Mode image of the left ventricle in systole, acquired using respiration and ECG triggering.

Left ventricle in diastole

B-Mode image of the left ventricle in diastole, acquired using respiration and ECG triggering.
