title: Single, biplane, multiplane, and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. Echocardiographic-anatomic correlations.
abstract: Advances in TEE instrumentation have led to the emergence of this modality as a powerful diagnostic tool. Numerous investigations in humans have clearly defined the plethora of clinical applications of TEE in a variety of patient care scenarios. Research in progress in the area of transducer technology and computerized image processing is likely to bring 3-D TEE to the clinical front.
