TEE Ultrasound Transducer Provides Views of Cardiac Structure and Function

Combined with new software for accurate and precise quantification of the mitral valve, surgeons now have valuable data for planning procedures.

This TEE probe enables 2D imaging as well as real-time 3D visualization of the heart, in particular the heart's valves, giving clinicians the ability to carry out a complete analysis, which can help achieve a faster and more precise diagnosis.

The excellent image clarity of Live 3D TEE provides clinical cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and echocardiographers with more data, faster. Being able to see accurate, clear images with the push of one button, the need to reconstruct pathology from multiple 2D views is reduced, providing clinicians with more diagnostic information in less time.

Philips Medical Systems (Best, The Netherlands) recently presented this technology at the ESC 2007 (European Society of Cardiology) Congress held in September 2007 in Vienna, Austria.
