a Prospective gating for morphological imaging. The signal is acquired during the mid diastolic phase, between the T-wave (cardiac repolarization) and the a-wave (atrial contraction). b Prospective gating for functional imaging. A cine series is acquired beginning with the R-wave. The end of diastole is missed, since the acquisition has to be terminated in order not miss the next R-wave trigger. c Delayed Gadolinium Enhancement is an example of prospective gating. d Tagging cine-MR is an example of prospective cine gating
