14. A method for detecting a cardiac cycle of a patient for generating a trigger signal for a medical imaging examination on the patient, the method comprising:
-
detecting a physiological signal on the patient, determining a correction value for the physiological signal, evaluating the physiological signal together with the correction value, wherein by means of the correction value a time delay of the physiological signal to the cardiac cycle of the patient is determined, and generating a trigger signal depending on the detected physiological signal and the determined time delay by means of a data evaluation unit. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
