gating (gāt´ing) controlling access or passage through gates or channels. selection of electrical signals by a gate, which passes signals only when a control signal (the gate pulse) is present, or passes only signals with certain characteristics, such as a pulse height. substrate-binding– or ligand-binding–induced opening and closing of a biologic membrane channel, believed to be due to conformational changes in proteins lining the channels. sensory gating. cardiac gating
selective acquisition of cardiac function information at specific points in the cardiac cycle by using information from the
electrocardiographic signal to time the cardiac cycle and control image sampling. It has been used in digital subtraction
angiography, computed tomography, nuclear cardiology, and magnetic resonance imaging. sensory gating
