This series illustrates imaging planes corresponding to standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) views. In many cases the imaging planes also correspond to standard view in transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
3D model based on cardiac-gated CT scan at 75% of R-R interval (mid-late diastole).

= Legend = (not all structures are visible in all clips in the series)
Green : Heart Base (see [ Ссылка ] )
Dark red : Left heart and aortic blood pool
Pink : Upper GI tract including esophagus and stomach where the TEE probe resides
