what is a ventilation perfusion scan?

A

evaluates the circulation of air and blood within a patients lungs in order to determine the ventilation/perfusion. The ventilation part of the test looks at the ability of air to reach all parts of the lungs, while the perfusion part evaluates how well blood circulates within the lungs.
