CMR interrogation of the mitral valve. Using a cross-sectional view of the mitral valve as a reference point (A), serial long-axis views are prescribed through the A1 to P1 scallops (B), the A2 to P2 scallops (C), or the A3 to P3 scallops (D) to produce long-axis cine views interrogating the individual scallops and coaptation points of the mitral valve. In this example, there is adequate coaptation of the A1 to P1 scallops (B) and the A3 to P3 scallops (D) but impaired coaptation of the A2 to P2 scallops, demonstrating a flail P2 scallop (C). AO: aorta; LV: left ventricle.
