Phase-to-amplitude/slope mapping
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining a signal that includes a plurality of cycles;
generating a map that maps motion phases to the signal based on both an amplitude and a slope of the signal, wherein the map divides each cycle into a descending region and an ascending region, and the descending region includes a portion of the signal with a negative slope between a lesser of a cycle maximum and a mean of signal maxima of the plurality of cycles and a greater of a cycle minimum and a mean of signal minima of the plurality of cycles, and the ascending region includes a second portion of the signal with a positive slope between the lesser of the cycle maximum and the mean of the signal maxima and the greater of the cycle minimum and the mean of the signal minima; and
generating volumetric image data based on data acquired by a scanner and the mapped motions phases.

Abstract
A method includes obtaining a signal that includes a plurality of cycles and generating a map that maps motion phases to the signal based on both an amplitude and a slope of the signal. A system includes a processor that identifies a set of motion signal timestamps, for a plurality of motion cycles in a motion signal indicative of cyclic motion of a moving object, based on a predetermined motion phase of interest and a phase-to-amplitude/slope mapping, wherein the set of motion signal timestamps correspond to a common signal amplitude. A method include identifying a peak of a plurality of peaks in a motion cycle of a noisy cyclic signal having irregular periodicity, wherein the peak corresponds to a point lying between two points with amplitudes below a predetermined threshold, comparing points before and after the peak with the peak, and identifying the peak as a local maximum when the peak is greater than the points.
