Omniplane transesophageal echocardiography imaging planes exploration.
One hundred and twenty-four patients with heart disease were examined by omniplane TEE in order to systematically research every views of omniplane TEE, and further explore anatomy and image feature of each view. The result showed that omniplane TEE transducer can be rotated in probe from 0 degree to 180 degrees, obtain many views at various angles behind the heart and fully demonstrate the structure and pathology of the heart and great vessels. It was useful for clinical diagnosis because of getting more information about the heart and great vessels. As omniplane TEE probe was little rotated in esophagus, it lessened esophagus stimulation. Meanwhile, it was suitable for three-dimensional reconstruction of left ventriculum.
