Respiratory Gating
Positioning of the respiratory
sensor belt
The correct placement of the abdominal belt is essen-
tial in order to receive a clear respiratory signal result-
ing in precise generation of inspiration and expiration
gates. Improper positioning of the respiratory belt will
result in an unstable respiratory signal which is sensi-
tive to movements of the patient during the scan and
can cause image artifacts due to small metallic compo-
nents of the sensor (please position the respiratory
belt outside of the scan range).
