Also known as: lung scan.
A pulmonary blood flow scan is an imaging test that is used to check the flow of blood through the lungs. It is a nuclear medicine test, which means that a small amount of radioactive material is injected into the bloodstream in order to enhance the clarity of the images.
The child will lay flat on a table, while a small amount of radioactive material is injected into the veins. After a few minutes, the images are taken using a special camera while your child lies flat on the table.
