Excerpt
MR reconstruction of virtual 3 dimensional volumes are routinely used to demonstrate cardiac malformations, particularly the complex geometric relationships between the great arteries and cardiac chambers. However, because of the need to signal average over multiple heart beats, rendering fast moving structures such as atrioventricular (AV) and semilunar valves has been limited. Echocardiography has sufficient frame rates to acquire images of moving valves in real-time 3d volumes. …
