Ventilation/perfusion scan
A ventilation/perfusion scan, also called a V/Q scan, is a medical test to measure the circulation of air and blood within a patient's lungs. The ventilation part of the test evaluates the ability of air to reach all parts of the lungs, while the perfusion part measures how well the blood circulates within the lungs.
