Describes a novel radiological technique for demonstrating and recording calcified aortic valves to improve diagnostic frequency.
May increase detection of aortic valve calcification; challenges consensus on radiological limits but leaves validation and utility open.
The object of this paper is to suggest that a diagnosis of calcified aortic valve can justifiably be made more often than is the current practice, and that the lesion can be convincingly demonstrated and permanently recorded by a special radiological technique not hitherto described.
