• Probe malfunction during TEE is an underrecognized problem. • MR severity assessment: host (e.g., BP), technical (e.g., gain), probe malfunction. • Clues for malfunction 1: disparity between TTE and TEE; CW and color Doppler. • Clues for malfunction 2: unexplained poor image quality; need for high gain. • Transducer temperature can affect image quality.
• 经食管超声心动图(TEE)检查期间探头故障是一个未得到充分认识的问题。
• 二尖瓣反流(MR)严重程度评估:主体因素(如血压)、技术因素(如增益)、探头故障。
• 故障线索1:经胸超声心动图(TTE)与TEE之间存在差异;连续波(CW)与彩色多普勒。
• 故障线索2:图像质量莫名变差;需要高增益。
• 换能器温度会影响图像质量。
