What else can I help you with?
By what other names are lung perfusion scans and lung ventilation scans referred?
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
Radioactive material is injected or inhaled and images are recorded?
"Lung Scan V/Q"ventilation perfusion scan radioactive test of lung ventilation and blood perfusion throughout the lung capillaries (Lung Scan)
In which test is a radiopharmaceutical injected intravenously and traced within the vessels of the lung?
Perfusion study of the lung
What is an abnormal result of a lung ventilation scan?
absence of marker material when the lung perfusion scan for the area is normal suggests lung disease
What procedure does a lung perfusion scan involve?
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
Which of the choices below does not involve tissue perfusion?
Tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that the tissues receive during circulation. When a person has decreased tissue perfusion, the tissues are receiving inadequate blood supply.
What is V-P scan?
ventilation-perfusion lung scan (for detecting pulmonary embolism ed)
What is V P scan?
ventilation-perfusion lung scan (for detecting pulmonary embolism ed)
What is the purpose of lung perfusion scans and lung ventilation scans?
to detect pulmonary embolisms, determine how much blood is flowing to lungs, determine which areas of the lungs are capable of ventilation, and assess how well the lungs are functioning
What precautions must be observed in lung perfusion scans and lung ventilation scans?
if the patient has had other recent radio-nuclear tests, it may be necessary to wait until other radiopharmaceuticals have been cleared from the body so that they do not interfere with these tests.
What does the medical abbreviation CPP mean?
Cerebral Perfusion PressureCerebral Perfusion Pressure
What connection between alveolus and visceral pleura?
The aveoli are microscopic pockets in the lung where gas exchange occurs. The visceral pleura is a membrane that covers the entire lung. There is no connection except that they both involve the anatomy of the lung.
