The concept of ultrafast echocardiographic imaging has been around for decades. However, only recent progress in ultrasound machine hardware and computer technology allowed to apply this concept to echocardiography. High frame rate echocardiography can visualize phenomena that have never been captured before. It enables a wide variety of potential new applications, including shear wave imaging, speckle tracking, ultrafast Doppler imaging, and myocardial perfusion imaging. The principles of these applications and their potential clinical use will be presented in this manuscript.
超快速超声心动图成像的概念已经存在了几十年。然而，只有在超声机硬件和计算机技术方面取得的最新进展，才使得这一概念能够应用于超声心动图。高帧率超声心动图可以可视化以前从未捕捉到的现象。它为各种潜在的新应用提供了可能，包括剪切波成像、斑点追踪、超快速多普勒成像和心肌灌注成像。本文将介绍这些应用的原理及其潜在的临床应用。
