What is a V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) Test in Coimbatore ?
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.
What does V/Q Scan show?
This is important because mismatches can reduce oxygen delivery to the body. 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.
What symptoms suggest V/Q Scan may be needed?
V/Q Scan is generally requested as part of a imaging assessment. Doctors commonly investigate this area when someone reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. Whether V/Q Scan specifically is the right test depends on your history and what your doctor is looking for. GetVisit makes testing convenient in Coimbatore, with partner-lab slots and home collection offered in many areas including Ganapathy and Gandhipuram.
How is V/Q Scan done?
This is an imaging scan, not a blood or fluid test, so no sample is collected. A qualified radiographer positions you at an accredited GetVisit-partnered imaging centre in Ganapathy or Gandhipuram, Coimbatore and captures the images in a few minutes. A radiologist reviews them and your report is made available through GetVisit.
How accurate is V/Q Scan?
Image quality and interpretation are the two pillars of accuracy. GetVisit's accredited centres serving Ganapathy and Gandhipuram, Coimbatore maintain modern equipment, and a qualified radiologist reviews each study before the report is issued.
Are there any risks to V/Q Scan?
Imaging is safe and non-invasive. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; X-ray and CT use carefully controlled low doses justified by the diagnostic benefit. Inform staff at the Ganapathy or Gandhipuram, Coimbatore centre if you are pregnant or have implants or metal devices, so precautions can be taken.
Did you know?
The test is noninvasive and gives a clear picture of lung function.
V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) Test Preparation in Coimbatore
Fasting and dietary instructions:
Most imaging scans need no fasting. Some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours of fasting or a full bladder, so follow the specific instruction shown when you book, or ask the centre.
Medication guidance:
Continue your regular medication unless told otherwise. Tell the centre if you have diabetes, kidney problems, or allergies, especially if a contrast study is planned.
What to bring:
Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.
Timing:
Book a slot that suits you at an accredited GetVisit centre in Sitra or Sundarapuram, Coimbatore. Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and remove jewellery before the scan.

Why Take a V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) Test in Coimbatore ?
When does a doctor order V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation)?
V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) is an imaging study used in the workup for suspected pulmonary embolism and other causes of unexplained breathlessness. Doctors order it when symptoms include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or low oxygen levels, or when CT scanning is not suitable.
Who should get V/Q Scan done in Coimbatore?
Coimbatore's large textile and engineering workforce, growing IT corridor, rice-based diet driving diabetes and heart disease, and northeast-monsoon infection season make regular preventive diagnostic testing worthwhile citywide. Those who benefit most from V/Q Scan include patients needing structural assessment that bloodwork cannot provide, and anyone under surveillance for a previously detected abnormality in Coimbatore.
What can V/Q Scan help detect?
The conditions diagnosable through V/Q Scan depend on the specific markers the test measures. Results either confirm a suspected diagnosis, support a clinical suspicion requiring further investigation, or effectively exclude the condition the test was screening for. Abnormal results can come from blood clots, lung disease, or reduced blood flow. A family history of blood clotting disorders makes this test more important.
What do V/Q Scan results mean?
An imaging report describes what the scan shows and whether it is normal or reveals a specific finding. A qualified radiologist interprets the images, and your doctor explains what any finding means for you and whether a further test or treatment is needed. The FAQs below cover what this scan can and cannot show.
How often should V/Q Scan be repeated?
For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends, typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
What happens after your V/Q Scan results are ready?
You will be notified as soon as the laboratory releases your results, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.
