Does a 3-D Doppler method using HPRF accurately quantify valvular regurgitation area and geometry in vitro?
A novel 3-D Doppler method using HPRF can accurately quantify valvular regurgitation area and geometry in computer simulations and in vitro models.
Hergum et al. (2009) studied Valvular regurgitation. HPRF 3-D Doppler method was evaluated on Quantification of regurgitational area and geometry. A novel HPRF 3-D Doppler method successfully distinguished between mild, moderate, and severe valvular regurgitation and quantified regurgitant area and geometry in computer and in vitro models.
