AB It  is  crucial  for  clinicians  performing  transesophageal  echocardiographic  (TEE)  examinations  to  understand  how  the  controls  on  an  ultrasound  machine  alter  the  display.  Without  this  knowledge,  it  is  impossible  to  consistently  optimize  images,  and  unskilled  manipulations  may  misrepresent  diagnostic  information  and  result  in  missed  diagnoses.  This  chapter  describes  the  controls  found  on  most  ultrasound  machines,  how  they  affect  the  image,  and  how  they  are  used  to  optimize  the  ultrasound  image.  Table  3-1  presents  the  most  commonly  used  controls  for  two-dimensional  (2D)  imaging.
