Noninvasive assessment of the ventricular relaxation time constant (tau) in humans by Doppler echocardiography.

abstract：:Current imaging modalities can provide only a qualitative or semiquantitative measure of the severity of aortic regurgitation. Ultrafast computed tomography (CT) has the capability of rapid imaging (17 frames/sec) coupled with high spatial resolution (1.5 mm2). Eight millimeter thick images can be acquired to interrog...
