| Parameters | Low MI | High MI | |
| Vascular phase images | |||
| Tumor vessel image | Good | < | Very good |
| Tumor enhancement image | Good | < | Very good |
| Tumor enhancement image of the lesion located in deep portion or high echoic lesions | Poor | << | Good |
| Real time image (frame rate) | Good (high frame rate) | > | Good to poor (high to low frame rate) |
| Late phase images | |||
| Scan starting time | At least 10 min | < | At least 5 min |
| Perfusion defect image of the lesion | Good | < | Very good |
| Perfusion defect images of the lesion located in deep portion or high echoic lesion | Poor | << | Good |
| Real-time image (frame rate) | Very good (high frame rate) | >> | Poor (low frame rate) |
| Examination time | More than 10 min | < | More than 5 min |
