If regurgitant orifice area is known then If regurgitant orifice area is known then reguritant volume can be estimated as the reguritant volume can be estimated as the product of effective regurgitant orifice product of effective regurgitant orifice area (ERO) and regurgitant TVIarea (ERO) and regurgitant TVI
To estimate ERO, Proximal isovelocity To estimate ERO, Proximal isovelocity surface area is usedsurface area is used
RV = ERO x Regurgitant TVIRV = ERO x Regurgitant TVI

As blood flow converges towards the As blood flow converges towards the regurgitant orifice, blood flow velocity regurgitant orifice, blood flow velocity increases with formation of multiple shells of increases with formation of multiple shells of isovelocity of hemispheric shapeisovelocity of hemispheric shape
Remember that velocity of the shell closest Remember that velocity of the shell closest to the regurgitant orifice is highest and vice to the regurgitant orifice is highest and vice versaversa
The flow rate at the surface of a hemispheric The flow rate at the surface of a hemispheric shell with the same flow velocity is shell with the same flow velocity is considered equal to the flow rate across the considered equal to the flow rate across the regurgitant orifice according to the law of regurgitant orifice according to the law of conservation of flow which states thatconservation of flow which states that

By adjusting the Nyquist limit of the color flow By adjusting the Nyquist limit of the color flow map, the flow velocity of a hemispheric surface map, the flow velocity of a hemispheric surface proximal to the regurgitant orifice can be proximal to the regurgitant orifice can be determineddetermined
For e.g. in MR the regurgitant flow travels away For e.g. in MR the regurgitant flow travels away from the position of the apical transducer ans so from the position of the apical transducer ans so the blood converging towards the mitral the blood converging towards the mitral regurgitant orifice in the LV is color coded blue regurgitant orifice in the LV is color coded blue until the velocity reaches the negative aliasing until the velocity reaches the negative aliasing velocity of the selected color flow map, at which velocity of the selected color flow map, at which time the flow will change color to light orange- red time the flow will change color to light orange- red
If the negative aliasing velocity of the color map is If the negative aliasing velocity of the color map is reduced further, the trasition from blue to reduced further, the trasition from blue to orange-red will occur farther from the regurgitant orange-red will occur farther from the regurgitant orifice providing a larger hemispheric shell radiusorifice providing a larger hemispheric shell radius

As we have already discussed the flow As we have already discussed the flow rate at the surface of a hemispheric shell rate at the surface of a hemispheric shell with the same flow velocity is considered with the same flow velocity is considered equal to the flow rate across the equal to the flow rate across the regurgitant orifice according to the law of regurgitant orifice according to the law of conservation of flow conservation of flow
Therefore, this flow across PISA is equal to Therefore, this flow across PISA is equal to flow rate across EROflow rate across ERO
Flow rate = ERO x regurgitant velocity Flow rate = ERO x regurgitant velocity
ERO = flow rate / peak MR velocityERO = flow rate / peak MR velocity
ERO = 6.28 x r² x Aliasing velocity / MR velocityERO = 6.28 x r² x Aliasing velocity / MR velocity
