Dependent hypoaeration on a lung scan typically indicates areas of the lung that are not fully inflated, often due to factors like fluid accumulation, lung disease, or positioning during the scan. This finding can suggest conditions such as pneumonia, atelectasis, or pulmonary edema. Further evaluation and clinical correlation with symptoms and history are necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. It's important to discuss these results with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive understanding.
no
A normal chest CT scan with contrast typically shows clear lung fields, with well-defined vascular structures and no evidence of masses, nodules, or significant lung disease. The mediastinum appears unremarkable, with normal heart size and contours, and no enlarged lymph nodes. The pleura should be smooth, and there should be no signs of fluid accumulation or abnormal pleural thickening. Overall, the scan would reveal a healthy thoracic cavity with no abnormalities.
The information after the word "Findings" would mean the Radiologist's interpretation of the CT scan.
shows fluid built up by infection?

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
Bronchoscopy
The purpose of a lung scan is to see if there are any foreign masses on it! You know, tumors, cancer masses, other things like that!
ventilation-perfusion lung scan (for detecting pulmonary embolism ed)

no
A PET scan shows what level / stage (if any) the cancer is at. An MRI scan doesn't do this, the reader, looks for abnormalities on the scan which shows up everything in the body.
How much a heart scan costs is dependent on the country you live in. In the UK it would be free.

No, a bone scan shows bone metabolism.
