A method of assessing relative rates of blood flow in the coronary arteries which involves observing one or more flow parameters in respect of contrast agent-containing blood flowing in at least one coronary artery of a subject, by generating a sequence of ultrasound images of the heart in a plane at least substantially perpendicular to the cardiac axis. Ultrasound imaging techniques which may be employed include power Doppler imaging and second harmonic B-mode or power Doppler imaging.

Une méthode d'évaluation des débits relatifs de sang dans les artères coronaires consiste à observer un ou plusieurs paramètres d'écoulement de sang contenant un agent de contraste, s'écoulant dans au moins une artère coronaire d'un sujet, par production d'une séquence d'images échographiques du coeur dans un plan au moins sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe cardiaque. Les techniques d'imagerie échographique que l'on peut utiliser sont l'imagerie Doppler de puissance et l'imagerie Doppler de puissance ou en mode B de seconde harmonique.
