The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CT, compared with that of echocardiography and surgery, for differentiating between bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves. MATERIALS AND METhODS: Forty-seven patients with bicuspid valve and 47 patients with tricuspid aortic valve underwent retrospectively ECG-gated dual-source CT and echocardiography. Thirty-four (72%) of the 47 patients with bicuspid aortic valve underwent valve surgery. Two independent blinded observers assessed the CT image quality of the aortic valve during diastole and systole on a 4-point scale, determined which phase allowed the differentiation of valve type, distinguished between tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves, and assessed for the presence of a raphe. Diagnostic performance of CT was determined using echocardiography and surgery as the reference standard.
