Transesophageal echocardiography
In a tee the transducer is passed into the throat down into the esophagus. A tee uses sound waves to produce images of your heart. It is used in management of patients in whom transthoracic images are inadequate. It creates ultrasound images of heart structures including the heart muscle itself as well as valves. Doppler waves evaluate blood flow throughout the heart.
