Transesophageal echocardiography in the imaging of spinal cord structures – a systematic review of the literature
Transesophageal echocardiography shows promise for real-time visualization of spinal canal structures and select intraoperative and interventional uses. However, current evidence is limited to small, heterogeneous studies. Rigorous prospective research including standardized imaging endpoints and comparative evaluations is needed to define its diagnostic accuracy, safety, and clinical impact.
