The classification of aortic stenosis severity using
Doppler sonography is based on the velocities across the
valve and does not necessarily reflect the additional
workload of the heart. Phase-Contrast MRI offers the
possibility of quantifying the energy dissipated in
turbulent flow and thereby potentially providing an
objective measure of disease severity. Results from 16
patients and 10 age-matched controls are presented and
compared to conventional diagnostic parameters
determined by Doppler sonography. To analyze robustness,
inter- and intra-observer variability analysis is
performed.
