Planimetry of Aortic Valve Area in Aortic Stenosis by Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

Planimetry of aortic valve area by MRI can be performed with better image quality as compared with TEE. In the clinical management of patients with aortic stenosis, it has to be considered that MRI slightly overestimates aortic valve area as compared with catheterization despite an excellent correlation.
