TEE 6TC-RS Probe: Cardiac Imaging for Superior Diagnostic Confidence
The TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiography) 6TC-RS probe by GE HealthCare is a sophisticated imaging tool specifically designed for adult cardiac applications. This multi-plane phased array transducer is engineered to deliver exceptional cardiac imaging performance, providing clinicians with a versatile and reliable probe that enhances diagnostic accuracy in critical cardiovascular examinations. Its compact design, wide frequency range, and multiple imaging modes make it an invaluable asset in cardiology, where precise and detailed images are essential.
The 6TC-RS TEE probe features a compact footprint of 12 x 14 mm, allowing for easy insertion and optimal maneuverability during transesophageal examinations. The probe's 45 mm length ensures it can reach the ideal position to capture high-quality images of cardiac structures. This ergonomic and compact design is crucial for providing patient comfort during procedures while allowing clinicians to focus on obtaining the most accurate diagnostic images possible.
The 6TC-RS TEE operates over a wide frequency range, from 2.9 to 8.0 MHz, offering great flexibility for imaging both superficial and deep cardiac structures. This broad frequency range allows for detailed visualization of the heart's anatomy, from valves to chambers, while ensuring high-resolution images that are critical for accurate diagnosis. Whether for routine exams or more complex cardiovascular assessments, the 6TC-RS TEE probe is optimized to provide clear and sharp images.
The 6TC-RS TEE probe is designed to support a variety of imaging modes, enhancing its utility in diverse clinical situations. In 2D mode, the probe provides a clear, real-time view of the heart, allowing detailed assessment of cardiac function and structures. Harmonic imaging further improves image quality by reducing noise and increasing tissue contrast, resulting in sharper and more reliable images.
In addition to standard 2D and harmonic modes, the 6TC-RS TEE is equipped with color Doppler, which provides detailed visualization of blood flow inside the heart, helping to identify abnormalities such as regurgitation or stenosis. The M-Mode offers precise measurements of cardiac structures, such as wall thickness and chamber dimensions, essential for tracking cardiac function over time. Additionally, the probe supports PW Doppler (Pulsed Wave) and CW Doppler (Continuous Wave) modes, allowing for the evaluation of blood flow velocities, particularly in fast flows through heart valves.
The 90° field of view and up to 20 cm depth of field allow clinicians to comprehensively visualize the entire cardiac anatomy, making the 6TC-RS TEE probe ideal for assessing complex cardiac conditions.
The multi-plane phased array design of the 6TC-RS TEE probe offers increased flexibility during transesophageal examinations. Clinicians can electronically rotate the probe to visualize the heart from different angles without manually repositioning the device, significantly reducing procedure time and improving overall efficiency.
The 6TC-RS TEE probe is an essential tool for clinicians seeking high-quality and reliable cardiac images. From routine exams to complex cardiovascular evaluations, the 6TC-RS TEE provides clinicians with the diagnostic confidence needed to make precise and rapid decisions.
