Pulse triggering
4.4.1
Description
Pulse triggering uses the patient's pulse to trigger the measurement.
A pulse sensor is connected to the patient's toe or finger. The first
pulse wave ("premature pulse wave") is used for triggering. This wave
corresponds to the systolic blood pressure.
A number of special sequences support retrospective gating.
