I'm sure not up on all the tests, so I have a question. I got the Muga test when I first started herceptin in December. I asked my onc last week when I will get my heart checked again and he said in three weeks he will do an ultra sound. My question is... Is an ultra sound the same as an echo or Muga test?

Thanks for your help
Susan
