- Authors
Bedet, Alexandre; Razazi, Keyvan; May, Faten; Mekontso Dessap, Armand
- Abstract
The article discusses the development of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in critically ill patients. Topics include the diagnostic accuracy of 3D TEE compared to two-dimensional imaging, the improvement of echocardiographic detection of pulmonary embolism through contrast-enhanced echocardiography and the magnification of artifacts with 3D echocardiography.
