In view of the European Association of Echocardiography (EAE) mission statement "To promote excellence in clinical diagnosis, research, technical development, and education in cardiovascular ultrasound in Europe" and the increasing demand for standardization and quality control, the EAE have established recommendations and guidelines for standardization of echocardiography performance, data acquisition (images, measurements and morphologic descriptors), digital storage and reporting of echocardiographic studies. The aim of these recommendations is to provide a European consensus document on the minimum acceptable requirements for the clinical practice of echocardiography today and thus improve the quality and consistency of echocardiographic practice in Europe.
鉴于欧洲超声心动图协会（EAE）的使命声明“促进欧洲心血管超声在临床诊断、研究、技术发展和教育方面的卓越表现”以及对标准化和质量控制的需求不断增加，EAE制定了关于超声心动图检查性能、数据采集（图像、测量和形态学描述符）、数字存储和超声心动图研究报告标准化的建议和指南。这些建议的目的是提供一份欧洲共识文件，阐述当今超声心动图临床实践的最低可接受要求，从而提高欧洲超声心动图实践的质量和一致性。
