Quantification of functional and perfusion abnormalities with stress imaging techniques is an important challenge in the assessment of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The standard technique for evaluation of CAD with echocardiography relies upon subjective observation of wall motion abnormalities during exercise or pharmacologic stress, with a semi-quantitative approach to evaluate the extent
