Abstract

PURPOSE: Tricuspid valve flow velocities are challenging to measure with cardiovascular MR, as the rapidly moving valvular plane prohibits direct flow evaluation, but they are vitally important to diastolic function evaluation. We developed an automated valve-tracking 2D method for measuring flow through the dynamic tricuspid valve.
