Abstract
• 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.
