Basic Pulmonary Diagnostic
Our Basic Pulmonary Diagnostic services are designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of lung function, helping to identify and manage respiratory conditions early. Using state-of-the-art technology and performed by our experienced specialists, these tests form the foundation for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Our Basic Pulmonary Diagnostic Services Include:
- Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs):
A battery of tests that measure lung capacity, airflow, and gas exchange. These are critical in diagnosing conditions such as asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung disease.
- Spirometry:
A key component of PFTs, spirometry assesses the volume and flow of air during inhalation and exhalation, providing valuable insights into the presence of obstructive lung conditions.
- Chest X-Ray:
A non-invasive imaging tool used to visualize the lungs, heart, and chest wall. This test helps detect infections, tumors, or structural abnormalities.
- Pulse Oximetry:
A simple, non-invasive test that measures blood oxygen levels to assess how effectively your lungs are oxygenating your blood.
- Bronchial Challenge Test:
This test evaluates airway responsiveness and is particularly useful in diagnosing asthma by observing how the airways react to specific triggers.
