V/Q scans offer several benefits, especially in cancer management: - Non-Invasive: The procedure is minimally invasive, involving only inhalation and an intravenous injection. - Functional Assessment: Unlike CT scans, which provide anatomical details, V/Q scans offer functional information about lung ventilation and perfusion. - High Sensitivity for PE: V/Q scans are highly sensitive in detecting pulmonary embolisms, which are common complications in cancer patients.
