echocardiography [‚ek·ō‚kärd·ē′äg·rə·fē] (medicine) A diagnostic technique for the heart that uses a transducer held against the chest to send high-frequency sound waves which pass harmlessly into the heart; as they strike structures within the heart, they are reflected back to the transducer and recorded on an oscilloscope.

Transthoracic echocardiography failed to detect any cardiac vegetation. Transthoracic echocardiography was not conclusive; a transesophageal echocardiogram showed remnants of a bicuspid and deformed aortic valve with multiple vegetative lesions. The technology is applicable for most commercially available 3D acquisition methods such as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as well as cardiac freehand acquisition. |
