  • Title: [Cine MR imaging in valvular heart disease].
    Author: Nishimura T, Yamada N, Itoh A, Miyatake K.
    Journal: Rinsho Hoshasen; 1989 Jan; 34(1):11-7. PubMed ID: 2724591.
    Abstract:
    Cine MR Imaging was carried out using FLASH (fast low angle shot) which employees TE of 16 msec and TR of 30-40 msec. Regurgitant jet was visible as discrete area of low signal intensity extending from the incompetent valve into the respective cardiac chamber. In 20 patients with mitral regurgitation, the correlation of the length and area of mitral jet by cine MR and color doppler mapping was 0.74 and 0.71, respectively. Cine MR imaging is a promising modality for detection and quantification of valvular heart disease.
