Figure 27From: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance artefactsComplex flow signal loss. Two examples of a systolic frame of an horizontal long axis cine acquisition from two different patients with insufficient mitral valves: a) GRE, b) bSSFP. The jet of signal loss caused by complex flows in the left atrium suggests mitral valve regurgitation (arrows). The bSSFP sequence is generally less sensitive to such flow related signal loss.Back to article page
