May augment conventional MRI for regurgitation and shunt detection in congenital heart disease; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does compressed-sensing parallel-imaging 4D phase-contrast MRI improve the detection of valvular insufficiency and intracardiac shunts compared to conventional cardiac MRI and echocardiography in patients with congenital heart disease?
Compressed-sensing parallel-imaging 4D phase-contrast MRI with velocity-fusion visualization augments conventional cardiac MRI by improving the sensitivity and depiction of hemodynamically significant shunts and valvular regurgitation in congenital heart disease.
