Figure. Diagram shows retrospective ECG-gated reconstruction. One image is generated from the raw data from three heartbeats. The data acquisition window is about 100 msec in the ideal case. We can get 3D data sets from any phase by selecting part of the raw data sets positioned at any R-R interval.
