Abstract

A method may include obtaining scan data that is captured by scanning a heart of a subject with the imaging device. The method may include obtaining electrocardiogram (ECG) data during the scans of the heart of the subject. The method may include determining first scan data from the scan data. The method may include reconstructing the cardiac image based on the first scan data. The method may also include performing one or more iterations. Each of the one or more iterations may include determining whether there is a pulsatile artifact in the reconstructed cardiac image, determining a second time period of at least one cardiac cycle based on the pulsatile artifact, and reconstructing the cardiac image based on the scan data and the second time period.
