Imaging plays an integral role in all aspects of managing heart disease and cardiac imaging is a core competency of cardiologists. The adequate delivery of cardiac imaging services requires expertise in both imaging methodology-with specific adaptations to imaging of the heart-as well as intricate knowledge of heart disease. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging have developed and implemented a successful education and certification programme for all cardiac imaging modalities. This programme equips cardiologists to provide high quality competency-based cardiac imaging services ensuring they are adequately trained and competent in the entire process of cardiac imaging, from the clinical indication via selecting the best imaging test to answer the clinical question, to image acquisition, analysis, interpretation, storage, repository, and results dissemination. This statement emphasizes the need for competency-based cardiac imaging delivery which is key to optimal, effective and efficient, patient care.
影像学在心脏病管理的各个方面都发挥着不可或缺的作用,心脏影像学是心脏病专家的核心能力。提供充分的心脏影像学服务既需要在成像方法方面具备专业知识——特别是针对心脏成像的特定适应性——也需要对心脏病有深入的了解。欧洲心脏病学会(ESC)和欧洲心血管影像协会已经为所有心脏成像模式制定并实施了一项成功的教育和认证计划。该计划使心脏病专家能够提供基于能力的高质量心脏影像学服务,确保他们在心脏成像的整个过程中都得到充分的培训并具备相应能力,从临床指征到选择最佳成像检查以回答临床问题,再到图像采集、分析、解读、存储、存档和结果传播。本声明强调了基于能力的心脏影像学服务的必要性,这是实现最佳、有效和高效患者护理的关键。
