Magnetic resonance imaging is image diagnosis in heart valve disease.
Mailing address: Marcelo nigri • Dr. Enéas de Carvalho Aguiar, 44 O5403-000 • São Paulo, SP • Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Received on 08/12/05 • Accepted on 10/17/05 In most recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been establishing itself as one of the major non-invasive complementary exams in Cardiology. Among the major benefits to be pointed out are the excellent anatomi...
متن کاملFatigue Evaluation of a Prosthetic Heart Valve
Approximately 86,000 Björk-Shiley convexo-concave (BSCC) heart valves were implanted from 1979 to 1984 and approximately 1% of these valves experienced failure due to fatigue of a critical valve component. Failures of this type are likely to yield a 70% mortality rate in patients. Although the BSCC valve was constructed from a material that possesses good fatigue properties continued operation ...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance in the evaluation of heart valve disease
BACKGROUND Over the last 25 years, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has emerged as an alternative to echocardiography for assessment of valvular heart disease (VHD). Although echo remains the first-line imaging modality for the assessment of patients with VHD, CMR can now provide a comprehensive assessment in many instances. Using a combination of techniques, CMR provides informa...
متن کاملAcoustic neuromas: evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging.
Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed in six patients with seven acoustic neuromas, and the results were compared with conventional tomography of the internal auditory canals, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and air CT cisternography. All tumors were identified with MRI. The three largest tumors (greater than 1 cm diameter) looked similar to the tumors ...
