Ventilation-perfusion Scintigraphy

Ventilation-Perfusion Scintigraphy is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that assesses pulmonary ventilation and perfusion to identify regional imbalances, particularly in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, by detecting mismatches between inhaled radiotracer distribution and pulmonary blood flow.
