A lung perfusion scan is a nuclear medicine imaging test that uses a small amount of radioactive tracer to create pictures showing blood flow to the lungs. Your doctor might order this scan if you have symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, or to check for conditions like blood clots or lung disease. During the procedure, you'll receive an injection of the tracer through an IV, and then lie still under a special camera that takes images of your lungs, which typically takes about 30 minutes.
