6T-RS TEE Probe: Precision Imaging for Advanced Cardiac Diagnosis
The 6T-RS transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe from GE HealthCare is a cutting-edge imaging tool specifically designed for adult cardiac applications. Featuring multi-plane phased array technology, this probe strikes an optimal balance between high performance, versatility, and precision. Its sophisticated imaging capabilities enable healthcare professionals to obtain real-time, highly detailed images of the heart, providing crucial information for the diagnosis and management of complex cardiac conditions.
The 6T-RS TEE probe features a compact and ergonomic design with a small footprint of 12 x 14 mm and a length of 45 mm. This design allows for easy insertion and optimal maneuverability during transesophageal procedures, reducing patient discomfort while enabling clinicians to perform accurate cardiac assessments. The probe's small size does not compromise its performance, as it allows for comprehensive visualization of the heart, ensuring high-quality images even during critical examinations.
One of the main advantages of the 6T-RS TEE probe is its wide frequency range, from 2.9 to 8.0 MHz. This extensive frequency range allows for detailed imaging of both superficial and deep cardiac structures. The ability to adjust the frequency based on specific imaging needs ensures that every aspect of the heart can be visualized with exceptional clarity.
The 6T-RS TEE probe supports multiple imaging modes, each designed to provide specific information about the structure and function of the heart. In 2D mode, the probe offers a clear and detailed view of the heart's anatomy, facilitating the assessment of cardiac function and the detection of anomalies. Harmonic imaging enhances contrast and reduces noise, ensuring that even the smallest details are visible, which improves diagnostic accuracy. Color Doppler allows for visualization of blood flow within the heart, facilitating the detection of anomalies such as regurgitation or stenosis. M-Mode provides precise measurements of cardiac structures, such as wall thickness and chamber dimensions, which are essential for tracking cardiac function over time. Additionally, PW Doppler provides detailed information about blood flow velocity, particularly useful for assessing flow across valves, while CW Doppler is essential for measuring high-velocity blood flows, offering critical insights into conditions like valvular stenosis.
With a 90° field of view and a depth of field of up to 20 cm, the 6T-RS TEE probe ensures that clinicians can obtain a comprehensive view of the heart and its surrounding structures. This wide field of view is particularly advantageous when assessing complex cardiac conditions, as it allows for visualization of the entire heart in a single image. The depth of field also ensures that even deep cardiac structures can be observed clearly, providing a comprehensive overview of heart health and function.
Whether for routine examinations or complex cardiac assessments, the 6T-RS TEE probe provides healthcare professionals with the detailed information necessary for making precise and timely decisions.
