• Two orthogonal planes (PT-LAX, AP-4CV)
• Optimize colour gain/scale
• Identify the three components of the regurgitant jet (VC, PISA, Jet into LA)
• Reduce the colour sector size and imaging depth to maximize frame rate
• Expand the selected zone (Zoom)
• Use the cine-loop to find the best frame for Measurement
• Measure the smallest VC (immediately distal to the regurgitant orifice, perpendicular to the direction of the jet)
