Live/real-time 3D TEE is a promising imaging modality that provides improved anatomic definition and novel views of cardiovascular pathology.
A new tool has been recently introduced to the echocardiography armamentarium, live/real time three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In these cases, we describe our initial experience in 13 patients studied intraoperatively and in the echocardiography suite. This important technology promises improved anatomic definition, diagnostic confidence, and novel views of the complicated cardiovascular pathology encountered in common clinical practice.
Pothineni et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
