Why the study?
Does magnetic resonance imaging with a transverse saturation band accurately assess the severity of aortic regurgitation compared to angiography and echocardiography in patients with chronic aortic insufficiency?

MRI with a transverse saturation band is a rapid and effective method for assessing severe aortic regurgitation, particularly useful when echocardiography is inconclusive.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support saturation band MRI as adjunct when echocardiography is inconclusive; leaves open prospective validation against angiography.
Ambrosi et al. (1995) studied this question.
