A) Mitral regurgitation jet area measurement showing an area of 9.01 cm2; B) Vena contracta measurement (0.40 cm), in; C/D) Magnified image of the measure of hemisphere radius, maximum velocity and VTI for calculation of effective regurgitant orifice area and regurgitant volume. In this patient, the effective regurgitant orifice area was 0.14 cm2 and the regurgitant volume was 23.8 ml.
