2. Cardiac imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_imaging

   3D TEE is a technology developed to improve upon the limitations of 2D tomography. With the introduction of the matrix TEE probe, 3D TEE can collect real-time 3D images that provide a comprehensive view of the heart structures, leading to better understanding and decision making during cardiac procedures.

3. Echocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echocardiography

   MedlinePlus. 003869. [edit on Wikidata] Echocardiography, also known as cardiac ultrasound, is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart. It is a type of medical imaging, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. [1] The visual image formed using this technique is called an echocardiogram, a cardiac echo, or simply an echo.

4. 3D ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_ultrasound

   3D ultrasound is a medical ultrasound technique, often used in fetal, cardiac, trans-rectal and intra-vascular applications. 3D ultrasound refers specifically to the volume rendering of ultrasound data. When involving a series of 3D volumes collected over time, it can also be referred to as 4D ultrasound (three spatial dimensions plus one time ...

5. Transthoracic echocardiogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transthoracic_echocardiogram

   still/moving image of internal parts of heart. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is the most common type of echocardiogram, which is a still or moving image of the internal parts of the heart using ultrasound. In this case, the probe (or ultrasonic transducer) is placed on the chest or abdomen of the subject to get various views of the heart.

6. Heart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart

   The heart is a muscular organ found in most animals. This organ pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. [ 1 ] The pumped blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body, while carrying metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs. [ 2 ]

7. Doppler echocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_echocardiography

   OPS-301 code. 3-052. [edit on Wikidata] Doppler echocardiography is a procedure that uses Doppler ultrasonography to examine the heart. [1] An echocardiogram uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of the heart while the use of Doppler technology allows determination of the speed and direction of blood flow by utilizing the Doppler ...

8. Electroanatomic mapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanatomic_mapping

   Technology. The fundamental concept of electroanatomic mapping systems is to localize catheters within the heart in three dimensional space (a sort of "GPS" within the heart). Building a 3-D model of the heart with real-time visualization permits reduction in fluoroscopy use. In addition to 3-D structure, the voltage and timing of signals at ...

9. Artificial heart valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart_valve

   Artificial heart valve. An artificial heart valve is a one-way valve implanted into a person's heart to replace a heart valve that is not functioning properly (valvular heart disease). Artificial heart valves can be separated into three broad classes: mechanical heart valves, bioprosthetic tissue valves and engineered tissue valves.
