Table 3 Intrapulmonary shunt quantitative classification
| Contrast-enhanced echocardiography based on the number of microbubbles passing in the left ventricle | |
| No shunt | No detection of microbubbles |
| Stage 1 | < 30 microbubbles |
| Stage 2 | 30-100 microbubbles |
| Stage 3 | > 100 microbubbles |
| Macroaggregated albumin lung perfusion | |
| No shunt | < 6% brain uptake of radiolabeled albumin |
| Intrapulmonary shunt | ≥ 6% brain uptake of radiolabeled albumin |
