Transesophageal
TEE, or transesophageal echocardiography, is performed from inside the esophagus.
Transesophageal echocardiography is a diagnostic test using an ultrasound device that is passed into the esophagus of the patient to create a clear image of the heart muscle and other parts of the heart.
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a type of cardiac imaging procedure where a probe is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus to obtain detailed images of the heart. It provides clearer and more detailed images of the heart structures compared to a standard echocardiogram performed on the chest. TEE is often used to evaluate heart function, detect heart conditions, and guide certain cardiac procedures.
Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D), includes M-mode recording, when performed, complete, with spectral Doppler echocardiography, and with color flow Doppler echocardiography.
Transesophageal Echocardiography is an ultrasonic imaging technique used to evaluate heart structures. This diagnostic test is performed from inside the esophagus, and because the esophagus is so close to the heart, this technique produces clearer images than those obtained with echocardiograhy.

TEE, or Transesophageal Echocardiography, is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed images of the heart and surrounding structures. It involves inserting a specialized ultrasound probe into the esophagus, allowing for clearer views than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) due to the proximity of the esophagus to the heart. TEE is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions like heart valve diseases, blood clots, and congenital heart defects. It is often performed when more standard imaging techniques are insufficient.

TEE
Since the esophagus is right next to the heart, transesophageal echocardiography provides a very clear picture of the heart. It can provide information on the size of the heart, its pumping strength, and the location and extent of.
