Respiratory Gating: Reconstruct Image with 10 Amplitude-Based Phases

Respiratory Gating: How to Reconstruct Images with 10 Amplitude-Based Phases Computed Tomography  Phases are calculated based on the percentage of amplitude of the respiratory curve  Inspiration percentages correlate to the completion of the specific cycle (20% In = 20% of inspiration complete) Expiration percentages correlate to the amount remaining to complete the specific cycle  (20% Ex = 80% of expiration complete) 1.
