Three - dimensional transesophageal
echocardiography (3DTEE) recently was reported by Joseph Vettukattil, M.D., and his Helen DeVos Children's Hospital colleagues to be a feasible imaging technique to generate
3D printing in congenital heart disease.
But this is the first time the integration of computed tomography (CT) and three - dimensional transesophageal
echocardiography (3DTEE) has successfully been used for printing a hybrid
3D model of a patient's heart.
