Cardiac MRI acquisitions require accurate triggering, usually derived from ECG. The contactless, electromagnetic Pilot Tone navigator enables direct measurement of cardiac and respiratory motion, independently of the acquisition. Here we present an almost lag free pipeline to process the cardiac Pilot Tone signal and derive triggers from it.
