Echocardiographic imaging (two-dimensional and M-mode technique) with extrathoracal transducer positioning is, in addition to other echocardiographic methods (transesophageal scanning, contrast-enhanced echocardiography, Doppler ultrasound), an important diagnostic tool for determining the morphology, function, and hemodynamics of the heart and the large vessels. It is a safe diagnostic procedure and is, therefore, an important basis for further cardiac evaluation by invasive techniques. Echocardiography in general is not only of high diagnostic value for the noninvasive evaluation of cardiac disorders, but it is also often the basis for an adequate therapeutic procedure, as well as for evaluation of clinical follow-up, prognosis, and exercise performance of the cardiac patient.
除其他超声心动图方法（经食管扫描、对比增强超声心动图、多普勒超声）外，采用胸外换能器定位的超声心动图成像（二维和M型技术）是确定心脏和大血管的形态、功能及血流动力学的重要诊断工具。它是一种安全的诊断程序，因此是通过侵入性技术进行进一步心脏评估的重要基础。一般而言，超声心动图不仅对心脏疾病的无创评估具有很高的诊断价值，而且它通常也是适当治疗程序的基础，以及评估心脏病患者临床随访、预后和运动表现的基础。
