Cardiovascular ultrasound has played a key role in the evolution of early diagnosis of structural heart disease, led by a technology pioneered by Philips: the ‘transesophageal echocardiography’ (TEE) ultrasound transducer. In structural heart disease, the quality of a 3D TEE image can help save lives.

Ultrasound techniques currently used in echocardiography uses frame rates from 30-150 frames/s. This limits its temporal resolution for very short lived events, especially in pediatric and congenital heart disease with faster heart rates compared to adults [1].
