每天朗读一段医学影像学英语文章

This is a terrific case and something we're gonna see more often with fast scanning. You look at the patient, there's aorta valve replacement. But then there are filling defects. Is that normal? No. It's a flow related? No. Has the aortic valve failed? It may fail at some point, but the filling defects those low densities are vegetations on the aortic valve. The patient even has vegetations you could vaguely see them on the mitral valve. But this is very nicely shown on the aortic valve. Very very nice example, good visualization, well seen.

这是一个不错的病例，常见于快速成像。该病人可见主动脉瓣置换，其可见灌注缺损。这是正常的征象吗？不正常。这和血流相关吗？没关系。主动脉瓣功能退化了吗？或许某处有少许退化。实际上该灌注缺损，即主动脉瓣上的低密度为赘生物。该病人的二尖瓣上亦隐约可见赘生物，然而主动脉瓣的病变更清晰。这是一例非常典型的主动脉瓣赘生物，病变清晰可见。
