(MCE) Myocardial contrast echocardiography is a contrast enhanced ultrasound method that utilizes intravenous injected microbubbles as red blood cell tracers. MCE can assess myocardial perfusion both at rest and stress to evaluate viable myocardium after acute infarction.
MCE perfusion imaging improves the blood echoes during the microbubble passage and the imaging system suppresses the clutter represented by non-contrast-bearing tissue.

Myomap is an investigational ultrasound contrast agent for assessment of myocardial perfusion and has been tested in animals to determine infarct volumes in cases of coronary artery occlusion. The deposit microbubbles of Myomap consist of air filled human serum albumin microcapsule with a thick and rigid shell.
