Cine MR may aid detection of valvular incompetence; leaves open accuracy versus echocardiography or catheterization.
Does cine MR imaging accurately detect valvular regurgitation compared to Doppler echocardiography or cardiac catheterization?
Cine MR imaging is sensitive to turbulence and can detect valvular regurgitation, showing promise as a diagnostic imaging modality.
