transoesofageaaliseen
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is an imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to visualize the heart from within the esophagus. This method is an extension of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), with the primary advantage being higher-quality images of the heart's structures due to the absence of atmospheric interference from the chest wall.
During a TOE procedure, a transducer is inserted into the esophagus, typically through the mouth and down
The esophageal positioning of the transducer provides several benefits for viewing, including the lack of chest
Additionally, TOE serves as a complement to TTE, teleradiology, and radiographic imaging techniques, such as X-rays
