What’s Inside?

💡Imaging Orientation

Build confidence from your very first view. Learn about spatial orientation and how to visualize the heart as both a sonographer and a surgeon, bridging the gap between echocardiographic and anatomical perspectives for truly accurate interpretation.

💡Imaging the Mitral Valve with Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)

Master the four essential TTE views to confidently visualize the mitral valve and its scallops. Discover how each view reveals specific leaflet segments, chordae, and papillary muscles, so you can interpret coaptation and mechanism with precision.

Every heart is unique, and this guide shows how to adjust angulation and probe position to match patient anatomy—ensuring consistent, accurate scallop identification in every study.

💡Imaging the Mitral Valve with Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

Go even deeper with your mitral valve imaging—literally! Learn to visualize the mitral apparatus with in unparalleled detail with TEE. Learn the primary transducer levels and how subtle adjustments in depth and angle reveal every scallop with precision.

Follow clear guidance on standard ASE-referenced views. From probe manipulation to beam rotation, you’ll gain the spatial awareness and technical control to capture the mitral valve from every angle with confidence.
