4D Zoom / MV acquisition on Vivid E9 4D TOE
General remarks
While scanning with VE9 BT12 and 4D TEE there is an easy way to get a quick acquisition of the Mitral
valve in a surgical view.
By using the dedicated Mitral valve button the image will be displayed automatically in the position
with view from left atrium towards the Mitral valve and Aortic valve placed on top of the screen at 12
o’clock position. This specific view is known as the surgeons view onto the Mitral valve.
In order for the system to position correctly, the software is making assumption about the heart
orientation. It assumes that a 4Ch view would correspond to an angle of 0 degree.
This is just a geometrical assumption.
Using this information, the mitral valve will be shown in the surgeon orientation regardless of the
starting angle (angles when being in the 4D prepare zoom).
Basically with Mitral Valve, the zoom acquisition can be started from any angle.
Getting started
Select 6VT-D probe with preset of choice.
Depending on the individual workflow, the user can start from either a single plane 2D image or from
a Biplane Imaging mode.
