The classification of aortic stenosis severity using Doppler sonography is based on the velocities across the valve and does not necessarily reflect the additional workload of the heart. Phase-Contrast MRI offers the possibility of quantifying the energy dissipated in turbulent flow and thereby potentially providing an objective measure of disease severity. Results from 16 patients and 10 age-matched controls are presented and compared to conventional diagnostic parameters determined by Doppler sonography. To analyze robustness, inter- and intra-observer variability analysis is performed.
