Lung Perfusion Score System as a Mean of Evaluating Lung Function

Largest Localized Perfusion Defect Score (DS) in Each Lung
0= No defect
1= Defect < 25% of one lung
2= Defect 25-49% of one lung
3= Defect 50-74% of one lung
4= Defect 75-100% of one lung
Remaining Luns Perfusion Score (RLPS)
1= Homogeneous
2= Mild heterogeneity
3= Moderate heterogeneity
4= Marked heterogeneity
Total Lung Perfusion Score (LPS) = Right Lung DS + Left Lung DS + RLPS = 1-12
