Tricuspid stenosis in CT and MRI
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]
