Does oblique cine MRI accurately identify and quantify aortic regurgitation compared to cineangiography in patients with suspected AR?
Oblique cine MRI provides a highly accurate, non-invasive method for identifying and semiquantitatively estimating the severity of aortic regurgitation compared to invasive cineangiography.
