title: Bicuspid aortic valve: spectrum of imaging findings at cardiac MDCT and cardiovascular MRI.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Cardiac MDCT and cardiovascular MRI have become widely used for the evaluation of cardiovascular disease, including aortic valve disease. The purpose of this article is to present the cardiac MDCT and cardiovascular MRI findings of bicuspid aortic valve, its various complications, and other congenital cardiovascular malformations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Radiologists should be aware of the clinical significance and the varied appearance of bicuspid aortic valve at cardiac MDCT and cardiovascular MRI.
