Abstract
Trodimenzionalna transezofagusna ehokardiografija u stvarnom vremenu (RT 3D-TEE) temelji se na novoj matričnoj tehnologiji uz pomoć koje se može rekonstruirati 3D živa slika srca piramidnoga oblika i punoga volumena. Postala je integralni dio intraoperacijske procjene lijeve klijetke, mitralne valvule i kongenitalnih abnormalnosti srca. Prednosti su preciznost, sekcija 3D žive slike, prostorna rezolucija, tele-obrada i virtualna stvarnost. Ograničenja su slabost planarne i vremenske rezolucije, procjena endokarda desne klijetke, izostanak prikaza epikarda srca. Buduća klinička uloga RT 3D-TEE jest analiza regionalne deformacije miokarda - 3D speckle tracking, resinhronizacijska terapija, te razvoj softvera za procjenu ostalih srčanih zalistaka.Three dimensional real-time transoesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D-TEE) is founded on a new matrix technology by which we can reconstruct a live 3D pyramidal and full volume image of the heart. It has become an integral part of intraoperative left ventricle, mitral valve and congenital anomaly assessment. Its advantages are: precision, 3D live section views, spatial resolution, tele-processing and virtual reality. Limits are: poor planar and time resolution, right ventricle endocardium assessment, absence of epicardial view. Future role of RT 3D-TEE is regional myocardial deformation assessment - 3D speckle tracking, resynchronization therapy and software development for assessment of other valves
