Figure 1 Volume-Rendered 3D-MTEE Views of Mitral and Aortic Valves
Example of systolic (left) and diastolic (right) still frames of 3D-MTEE real-time volume renderings of the MV from the left atrial perspective (A and B) and the aortic valves (C and D) from the ascending aorta. AV = atrioventricular valve; MV = mitral valve; 3D-MTEE = 3-dimensional matrix array transesophageal echocardiography.

Figure 2 Volume-Rendered 3D-MTEE Views of Different Cardiac Structures
Examples of the left atrial appendage (LAA) visualized en-face (A) and in the long-axis view (B) showing the ridge separating the LAA from left upper pulmonary vein (LUPV); (C) interatrial septum (IAS) from the left atrial perspective showing the foramen ovale (FO); (D) tricuspid valve displayed from the right atrial perspective showing the septal (S), anterior (A), and posterior (P) leaflets. 3D-MTEE = 3-dimensional matrix array transesophageal echocardiography.
