Aortic valve stenotic area calculation from phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance: the importance of short echo time

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can potentially quantify aortic valve area (AVA) in aortic stenosis (AS) using a single-slice phase contrast (PC) acquisition at valve level: AVA = aortic flow/aortic velocity-time integral (VTI). However, CMR has been shown to underestimate aortic...
