Why the study?
Does 3D velocity-encoded MR imaging improve the accuracy of pulmonary and tricuspid valve flow assessment compared to 2D VE MR imaging in patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot?
Population
25 patients with a corrected tetralogy of Fallot and 19 control subjects.
Comparison
Three-dimensional velocity-encoded magnetic… vs Two-dimensional velocity-encoded MR imaging
Design
Cross-sectional

May favor 3D over 2D VE-MRI for TV flow quantification in repaired TOF; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Does 3D velocity-encoded MR imaging improve the accuracy of pulmonary and tricuspid valve flow assessment compared to 2D VE MR imaging in patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot?
3D velocity-encoded MR imaging is more accurate than 2D imaging for evaluating tricuspid valve flow and assessing diastolic function in patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot.
