320-slice MDCT is a useful, noninvasive imaging modality that provides clear anatomical details of aortic valve papillary fibroelastomas comparable to echocardiography.
Kin et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve (n=1). 320-slice multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) and surgical excision was evaluated on Tumor visualization and excision. 320-slice multi-detector row computed tomography provided clear images of a papillary fibroelastoma on the aortic valve, aiding in its successful surgical excision.
