What is V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation)?
A V/Q scan measures how well air reaches different parts of your lungs (ventilation) and how well blood flows through the lung tissue (perfusion). It looks for areas where air and blood flow do not match. This is important because mismatches can reduce oxygen delivery to the body. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) measure?
Doctors commonly use the test to check for pulmonary embolism and to evaluate unexplained shortness of breath. It is also used when CT scans are unsafe or unclear. Results help guide treatment decisions, such as blood thinners, further imaging, or surgery planning.

Clinical context determines whether a borderline result is significant.
