Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that perfusion defects mean some specific areas are not getting adequate blood supply which results in perfusion defects or nuclear scanning.
This usually is the result of deficient blood supply due to some blockage in the path of boood flow inside the blood vessels.
Kindly upload the image of full report so that I can personally review it and then answer you specifically.
Kind Regards
