    摘要: A simulator system can be used to train personnel regarding transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) performance techniques. TEE is an ultrasonic imaging modality that can be used to capture images of a subject's heart. An imaging probe is inserted into the esophagus of the subject and positioned/aimed toward the subject's heart to capture the images. The TEE training system described is a system for ultrasonic diagnosis training (e.g., targeting the heart) which can be operated using an actual echocardiography machine used in clinic setting, and allows the practice of both acquisition and manipulation of images by the user so as to provide multiple aspects of learning 3D TEE.
