Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science (J.V.C., H.P., E.K.F., D.A.B.) and the Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine (P.J.S.), The Johns Hopkins Hospital, MRI, Room 143 (Nelson Basement), 600 N Wolfe St, Baltimore, MD 21287. Recipient of a Cum Laude award for an education exhibit at the 2005 RSNA Annual Meeting. Received March 21, 2006; revision requested April 17 and received August 4; accepted August 11. J.V.C. was supported by the Radiological Society of North America Research and Education Foundation; P.J.S. is a stockholder of General Electric; E.K.F. was supported by Siemens AG and General Electric, is a member of the advisory boards for Siemens AG and General Electric, and is a cofounder of Hip Graphics; D.A.B. was supported by EPIX Pharmaceuticals and is a consultant for the Bracco Group and Schering AG (Berlex).

A variety of noninvasive techniques are available to assess cardiac valve morphologic features and function, with echocardiography currently being the most widely used modality for this purpose. Technical advances in electrocardiographically gated multi–detector row computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging allow the noninvasive visualization of the cardiac valves. At present, 64-section multi–detector row CT and MR imaging are commonly being used for comprehensive examination of the heart. Information about the cardiac valves is routinely provided by MR imaging of cardiac function or coronary CT angiography. Thus, the interpreting physician may have additional information available that can aid in making the diagnosis.
