Dear Madam, Hi
It is not a flu shot.
Definity (Perflutren Lipid Microsphere) is an ultrasound contrast agent.
It provides a clearer picture of the heart during a certain diagnostic procedure (echocardiogram).
It is indicated for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to opacify the left ventricular chamber and to improve the delineation of the left ventricular endocardial border.
Hope this answers your query.
