The TEE test provides a close look at the heart's valves and chambers, without interference from the ribs or lungs.
During a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), a technician obtains views of the heart by moving a small instrument called a transducer to different locations on the chest or abdominal wall.
Vascular ultrasound is a noninvasive ultrasound method used to examine the blood circulation in the arms and legs.
