Abstract
The coefficient of variation (CoV) is frequently used to describe functional or structural heterogeneity but is overestimated by the contribution of noise from the measurement method. We evaluated a method to estimate a noise-corrected heterogeneity. It delivers results with a narrow confidence interval. That method has been used to estimate the heterogeneity of pulmonary blood flow in humans as well as in animals.
