Interventional echocardiography (IE) is a relatively new subspecialty in the field of cardiology that has rapidly evolved to occupy a critical role in the treatment of structural heart disease. Despite this, clear competency guidelines are only now being issued, and, of pressing importance, the health risks associated with the profession, particularly occupational radiation exposure, still need to be recognized and appropriately addressed for both specialists and trainees in IE as well as for supporting sonographers. This review will briefly discuss the extensive training interventional echocardiographers need in advanced imaging modalities and will then present standard measures as well as possible innovative devices that can be implemented to reduce ionizing radiation exposure for those working in the field of IE.
介入性超声心动图（IE）是心脏病学领域中一个相对较新的亚专业，它已迅速发展并在结构性心脏病的治疗中占据关键地位。尽管如此，明确的能力指南直到现在才发布，而且至关重要的是，与该专业相关的健康风险，特别是职业辐射暴露，仍需要被认识到，并为介入性超声心动图领域的专家、学员以及辅助超声检查技师妥善解决。本综述将简要讨论介入性超声心动图医生在先进成像模式方面所需的广泛培训，然后介绍可用于减少介入性超声心动图领域工作人员电离辐射暴露的标准措施以及可能的创新设备。
