"The aim of the prospective ECG-gated high-pitch dual-source is the opacification of the coronary arteries without motion artifacts. This is achieved best by prospectively scanning at the mid- to end-diastolic phase (around 70% of the R-R interval) 1."
"body habitus plays a big role in scan quality; larger patients are not suitable candidates for this scan; when BMI exceeds 30 kg/m2, a prospective acquisition is favoured"
"40% of the R-R interval"
"60-70% of R-R interval"
"50-60% of R-R interval"

"each artery will suffer from motion artifact at different phases; the following intervals are the best ‘windows’ to prevent movement for different arteries 1"
