Does multibeam HPRF colour Doppler accurately quantify regurgitant volume compared to MRI in patients with aortic regurgitation?
Multibeam HPRF colour Doppler shows good agreement with MRI for quantifying regurgitant volume in moderate to severe aortic regurgitation, but only modest agreement in mild cases.
