AVA was determined by segmentation of the aortic valve leaflets, whereas Q was quantified based on volumetric assessment of the left ventricle. For validation, invasively measured TPG<jats:sub>catheter<\/jats:sub> was calculated from pressure measurements in the left ventricle and the ascending aorta. Altogether, 84 data sets of patients with aortic stenosis were used to compare TPG<jats:sub>CT<\/jats:sub> against TPG<jats:sub>catheter<\/jats:sub>.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> TPG<jats:sub>catheter<\/jats:sub> and TPG<jats:sub>CT<\/jats:sub> were 50.6 \u00b1 28.0 and 48.0 \u00b1 26 mmHg, respectively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.56).
