Key result
MDCT technology enables excellent visualization of valve function and assessment of a variety of aortic valvular abnormalities, with decreased artifacts for prosthetic valves.
Why the study?
Can MDCT effectively evaluate aortic valvular disease and prosthetic aortic valves?
Can MDCT effectively evaluate aortic valvular disease and prosthetic aortic valves?
MDCT is an effective imaging modality for the evaluation of aortic valvular disease, offering improved visualization and decreased artifacts for prosthetic valves.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May complement echocardiography for prosthetic aortic valve assessment; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Gilkeson et al. (2006) conducted a review in Aortic valvular disease. MDCT was evaluated. MDCT technology enables excellent visualization of valve function and assessment of a variety of aortic valvular abnormalities, with decreased artifacts for prosthetic valves.
