a small amount of the protein labeled with a radioisotope is injected into the patient's hand or arm vein. The patient is positioned under a special camera that can detect radioactive material
perfusion lung scan, aerosol lung scan, radionucleotide ventilation lung scan, ventilation lung scan, xenon lung scan, ventilation/perfusion scanning (VPS), pulmonary scintiphotography, or, most commonly, V/Q scan
"Lung Scan V/Q"ventilation perfusion scan radioactive test of lung ventilation and blood perfusion throughout the lung capillaries (Lung Scan)
absence of marker material when the lung perfusion scan for the area is normal suggests lung disease

The perfusion phase is the part of a contrast scan in which the contrast is moving into the blood vessels.
The medical term VQ scan means a combination of two different tests. These tests are called a ventilation scan and a perfusion scan and a both used for the purpose of testing the health of lungs.
