Split Lung Blood Flow Measurement

Florida rates for HCPCS 78597

A nuclear medicine study that measures what share of the blood reaching the lungs goes to each side. A tracer is given into a vein, a camera records where it lodges, and the result is reported as a percentage for each lung. Surgeons use it to judge how much lung function a person would keep if part of a lung had to be removed.
