echo vs muga

Before starting chemo, A/C, I had a muga and my score was 61%. Then I had another muga prior to Herceptin and it was 64%. I just had an echo and will get the results tomorrow. My onc wanted me to get an echo this time because he felt it gave more info than a muga as well as it being more accurate than a muga. Does anyone have any opinions on this or know of any documentation supporting one over the other? Thanks for your help once again.
