Abstract:
New matrix transducers are now available for three-dimensional echocardiography which have a higher frequency and smaller footprint than previous matrix probes. This has resulted in better image resolution in infants and children. Current applications include assessment of cardiac morphology and function. Intraoperative epicardial techniques may be used in addition to a conventional transthoracic approach.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
