OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the comparability of multislice computed tomography
(MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for measuring the aortic valve orifice area …

Background: Aortic valve stenosis is the most common type of valve lesion in Europe and
North America. Patient treatment is based on disease severity, which is classified by …

Aortic stenosis, which refers to narrowing of the aortic valve aperture during left ventricular
ejection, has become the most frequent valvular heart disease and the most frequent …

Purpose To compare the accuracy of planimetric and continuity equation measurements of
aortic valve area (AVA) by cardiac MR (cMR) to each other and against transthoracic (TTE) …

Methods: Fifty-two consecutive patients (27 males, 25 females; mean age 74±10 years)
admitted to the authors' institution during 2005 were evaluated with 64-slice CT and Doppler …

Background: The aim of the study was to determine whether noninvasive planimetry of aortic
valve area (AVA) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is feasible and reliable in patients …

Objectives: We sought to evaluate the accuracy of multislice computed tomography (MSCT)
with 64 detector rows for determination of the aortic valve area (AVA) compared with …

Purpose: To prospectively compare the accuracy of multidetector computed tomographic
(CT) measurements of the aortic valve area (AVA) with transesophageal echocardiography …

OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to investigate absolute assessment of aortic valve
area (AVA), before surgery for aortic stenosis, using cardiovascular magnetic resonance …

Aim To prospectively evaluate the accuracy of cardiac magnetic resonance (cMR) imaging
for the assessment of aortic valve effective orifice area (EOA) by continuity equation and …
