Abstract

Interventional echocardiography (IE) is a relatively new subspecialty in the field of cardiology that has rapidly evolved to occupy a critical role in the treatment of structural heart disease. Despite this, clear competency guidelines are only now being issued, and, of pressing importance, the health risks associated with the profession, particularly occupational radiation exposure, still need to be recognized and appropriately addressed for both specialists and trainees in IE as well as for supporting sonographers. This review will briefly discuss the extensive training interventional echocardiographers need in advanced imaging modalities and will then present standard measures as well as possible innovative devices that can be implemented to reduce ionizing radiation exposure for those working in the field of IE.

在不断发展的介入超声心动图领域应对辐射职业风险
介入超声心动图(IE)是心脏病学领域中一个相对较新的亚专科,它发展迅速,在治疗结构性心脏病方面发挥着至关重要的作用。尽管如此,明确的能力指南现在才刚刚发布,而且更重要的是,与该专业相关的健康风险,尤其是职业性辐射暴露,仍需得到 IE 专家和受训者以及辅助超声技师的认可和适当处理。本综述将简要讨论介入超声心动图技师在高级成像模式方面需要接受的广泛培训,然后介绍可用于减少 IE 领域工作人员电离辐射暴露的标准措施和可能的创新设备。
