Indications for cardiac catheterization--including coronary angiography--have substantially broadened with the advent of nonsurgical therapeutic interventions performed in the catheterization laboratory. Consequently, the increasing number of facilities performing these procedures require clear and unmistakable guidelines regarding the indications for and the safety and ethical aspects of the procedure. Technical developments in image acquisition and evaluation, such as quantitative analysis, allow the exact, reproducible assessment of minute changes in cardiac morphology and function, the evaluation of which becomes increasingly important in prognosis-related clinical trials.
随着在导管实验室中进行的非手术治疗干预手段的出现，包括冠状动脉造影在内的心脏导管插入术的适应症已大幅拓宽。因此，开展这些操作的机构越来越多，这就需要就该操作的适应症以及安全性和伦理方面制定清晰明确的指导方针。图像采集和评估方面的技术发展，如定量分析，能够对心脏形态和功能的细微变化进行准确、可重复的评估，而对这些变化的评估在与预后相关的临床试验中变得越来越重要。
