Overview[edit | edit source]

MRI scan may be helpful in giving some exact or more details of the tricuspid valve than of radiographic findings of tricuspid stenosis.

MRI[edit | edit source]

• MRI scan may be helpful in giving some exact or more details than of radiographic findings of tricuspid stenosis.

• MRI scan may be helpful in the tricuspid stenosis by providing in greater details of the following:^[1][2][3][4]
  • Right ventricle size and function
  • Accurate functional quantification of valve and ventricles
  • Tissue characterization
  • Morphological information
  • Multiplanar imaging capabilities
  • Good temporal resolution
  • Good spatial resolution

Tricuspid stenosis in CT and MRI. (a) Four-chamber reconstructed CT image shows thickening of the tricuspid leaflets (arrows) in a patient with carcinoid and tricuspid stenosis. (b) Four-chamber phase contrast velocity-encoded image shows a high-velocity jet extending across the tricuspid valve, resulting in aliasing (arrow). Case courtesy by Soham Shah et al^[5]
