Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging initially focused on heart structures, allowing the visualization of their motion and inferring its functional status from it. Colour-Doppler and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) have allowed a visual approach to intracardiac flow behaviour, as well as measuring its velocity at single selected spots. Recently, the application of new technologies to medical use and, particularly, to cardiology has allowed, through different algorithms in CMR and applications of ultrasound-related techniques, the description and analysis of flow behaviour in all points and directions of the selected region, creating the opportunity to incorporate new data reflecting cardiac performance to cardiovascular imaging. The following review provides an overview of the currently available imaging techniques that enable flow visualization, as well as its present and future applications based on the available literature and on-going works.
非侵入性心血管成像最初专注于心脏结构，允许观察其运动并从中推断其功能状态。彩色多普勒和心脏磁共振（CMR）允许对心脏内的流动行为进行直观的观察，并测量单个选定点的速度。最近，新技术在医学中的应用，特别是在心脏病学中的应用，通过 CMR 中的不同算法和超声相关技术的应用，允许在选定区域的所有点和方向上描述和分析流动行为，从而有机会纳入新的数据来反映心脏功能到心血管成像中。以下综述概述了目前可用的成像技术，这些技术能够实现流动可视化，以及根据现有文献和正在进行的工作，目前和未来的应用。
