在评估肺动脉高压（PH）患者的许多方法中，成像起着至关重要的作用。影像学的主要作用是根据无创血流动力学评估确定PH的严重程度，并评价右心室形态和功能。目前临床实践中用于这些目的的主要方式是超声心动图和心脏磁共振（CMR）成像。这篇综述讨论了几种超声心动图和CMR技术在PH评估中的优点、局限性和临床实用性。它还包括计算机断层扫描和放射性核素成像的作用的简要讨论。
Among the many approaches for evaluating patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), imaging plays a crucial role. The primary role of imaging is to identify the severity of PH based on noninvasive hemodynamic assessment and to evaluate right ventricular morphology and function. The major modalities used in current clinical practice for these purposes are echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. This review discusses the merits, limitations, and clinical utility of several echocardiographic and CMR techniques used in the evaluation of PH. It also includes a brief discussion of the role of computed tomography and radionuclide imaging.
