The passage of a bolus of SonoVue® through the right atrium and ventricle (panel b) and left atrium and ventricle (panel c). ROIs are drawn in the right and left ventricle (not shown, see Additional file 1). The acoustic intensities according to panel a, b, and c are expressed in panel d. The acoustic dilution curves of the right (blue indicator dilution curve (IDC)) and left ventricle (red IDC) are fitted according to the local density random walk model and the mean transit times (vertical black lines) are then calculated
