Abstract:
Three-Dimensional (3-D) echocardiography is becoming increasingly used to diagnose and describe the spatial location of valvular pathologies and atrial septal defects during transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The role of 3D-TEE is not well established in diagnosing other congenital heart diseases like partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD) and coronary anomalous. We propose a step by step approach to producing computed tomography-simulated axial images from 3-D TEE to simplify TEE interpretation and diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities.

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...
