AQURO : a fully automatable algorithm for echocardiographic quantification of effective regurgitant orifice area in mitral regurgitation

Effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) in mitral regurgitation (MR) is difficult to quantify. Clinically it is measured using the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method, which is intrinsically not automatable because it requires the operator to manually identify the mitral valve orifice....
