Does myocardial contrast echocardiography help distinguish left ventricular mural thrombi from myocardium?
Myocardial contrast echocardiography is a useful imaging technique to differentiate left ventricular mural thrombi from myocardium based on the presence or absence of contrast opacification.
Asanuma et al. (1999) studied this question.
