what is intra cardiac echo
Intracardiac Echocardiography. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is an imaging technique that allows physicians to get a clear picture of the inner workings of the heart.CE may be used as a diagnostic tool, or for guiding the physician during minimally invasive procedures inside the heart such as stent placement, or for the repair of a hole in the heart such as atrial septal defect. The use of intracardiac echo at UNC makes heart-imaging procedures much easier on the patient.
