# Scott Roth

> Scott Roth is a cardiologist who spent two decades reading echocardiograms before deciding the ICU needed a faster way to see the heart. As founder and CEO of ImaCor, he built hemodynamic ultrasound (hTEE) around the disposable, pencil-thin ClariTEE probe that stays in a patient for up to 72 hours, giving clinicians a live look at cardiac filling and function instead of waiting on lab results. In 2022 ImaCor and Clarius released the Zura Handheld, billed as the world's first handheld TEE system, putting that view in a 22-ounce device.
