Quantification of Myocardial Perfusion Using Intravenous Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography in Healthy Volunteers: Comparison with Positron Emission Tomography

Perfusion parameters as measured with ivMCE correlated with PET-derived MBF, but associated heterogeneity was significantly larger. Currently, this heterogeneity precludes true quantification of MBF using ivMCE.
