Does a prototype tomographic TEE system provide clinically applicable 3D and 4D imaging of the heart in patients?

Population

16 patients evaluated in the echocardiographic laboratory, intensive care unit, and the operating room

Intervention

Prototype tomographic transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) system (5-MHz, 64-element, phased array unit) providing 3D tissue reconstruction and 4D display

Outcome

Clinical applicability and visualization of dynamic motion of the ventricles and valves in 4D formatsurrogate

A prototype tomographic TEE system demonstrated feasibility for 3D and 4D imaging of the heart without requiring tedious off-line processing, showing strong clinical potential.
