Detection and prediction of cardiac quiescence for computed tomography coronary angiography

The objective of this work is to improve the diagnostic quality and reduce the radiation dose of computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) imaging by developing gating techniques based on signals derived from cardiac motion, rather than the currently used electrocardiogram (ECG), to more relia...
