“…7,43,44 Early studies using CMR to evaluate valve regurgitation (aortic or mitral) focused on visualizing the signal void, with validations based on qualitative assessment or measurement of jet length or area compared with color Doppler or angiography (Tables 4 and 5). 45,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] Evaluation of regurgitant severity based on jet area or length is no longer recommended, because this method is not a reliable indicator of disease severity. Nevertheless, visualization of distal flow disturbance by CMR, echocardiography, or angiography remains useful for detection of regurgitation and evaluation of jet direction and origin.…”
