Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used as a diagnostic modality in aortic stenosis.

Advantages of using MRI include:

It can be used in cases where echocardiographic results are inconclusive.
Helps in measuring heart volumes, blood flow and ventricular wall thickness.
The magnetic resonance angiography helps in better visualization of heart vasculature.
Phase velocity mapping helps in measuring the ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow (Qp:Qs).
