Supports noninvasive MRI quantification of aortic regurgitation; extends correlative data but leaves open outcome validation.
Does magnetic resonance imaging accurately quantify aortic regurgitation compared to angiography and echocardiography in patients with aortic regurgitation?
MRI provides a reliable noninvasive method for detecting and quantifying aortic regurgitation with excellent correlation to invasive and echocardiographic measurements.
Globits et al. (1992) studied this question.
